    Is there a free firewall + antivirus for Win7?


    I'm a long time Comodo user, but it appears that the firewall has problems running in Win7, does anyone know of a firewall+AV bundle for Win7? Or at least just a firewall.

    Cheers

    windows firewall no good ?

    kaspersky has a beta client specifically for windows which seems to work ok providing firewall and antivirus.

    I personally use windows firewall and antivir free home user edition

    I have recently discovered that the Windows Firewall is actually quite good... Its just a pain to configure. Download Vista Firewall Control (free version). Makes it so much easier to use. I went ahead and purchased it because it was so good. I pass all the firewall tests at Gibson (grc.com). For Anti-Virus, I use Avast free edition.

    Cheers!

    +1 for the windows firewall control and avast.

    I run Comodo on all previous OS's and will probably revert when the issues are resolved

    this is the same firewall that came from windows server 2008 (the win7 firewall) and being so it is robust and more configurable than the xp or vista firewall...
    whats more if combined with vistafirewall control then you have the upfront gui that it does not have...
    SIW2 recommend this to a few users and i have not looked back...
    although like most you have been a user of Comodo (since the oldest v2 betas... i really was searching for a good configurable firewall that was free and that was it...) before everyone praised it..

    Never fear, not everyone has praised Comodo's firewall . When i tried it with XP it would not play nicely with uTorrent, so it was pretty easy to work out which i would get rid of . Apparently they fixed that problem but i much prefer my trusty Outpost Pro, anyways .

    I also don't like Avast, and have gone back to using AVG. Avast's gimmicky looking, media player interface is awkward to use and very ghey looking imo.
