is there a good program if you plan to conecnt to unsecured networks in the future something that would strength your own firewall? beside windows firewall? what about comandos stand alone firewall?
thanks
hi,
windows firewall is only a soft firewall.
download and install Comodo firewall as a stand alone.
then turn windows firewall off. (so that you are only running one firewall)
you can adjust the settings of Comodo to the point of unreasonable.
but it can get very complicated, with alerts asking you for every thing.
... might just be easier to set Comodo to its default, and you will have a firewall that is sooo much safer than Windows Firewall.

Really what do you think a unsecured network has to do with where you surf and what you do. The only thing a secured network requires is a password to log in. You are using anti-virus and malware program right?
^ I disagree with almost everything above. The built-in firewall is effective and is simple and just works for most people. I've found very little reason to use things like Comodo unless you really get off on annoying popups and clicking to allow each and every single thing outbound that wants to get out. If you want complete and total control, these third party solutions are great, but if you are the type who just wants something quick and effective, they aren't necessary.
Fair enough.
Look, I am a bit impressed with the way you were able to select just a few words from my comment.
I often submit the whole comment.
Could you please, pparks1, show me how I can just select the words I feel pertinent in a comment, to my reply.
That is, instead of my sending the whole and unneccessary quote, I just post back the relative part.
Thanks. (what I don't know about the simple mechanics of computers, alarms even me.)
