    Free Firewall?


    Are there any good free firewall programs? I don't want to just go googling such a query as I'll most likely get trojan horse malware.

    I said "good" not "basic" or "almost useless."

    Basic? Useless?

    Guess you never bothered to check the Advanced Security Settings

    Yup I have. But I'm probably looking for something more advanced.

    Its has a fair few more advanced features than what some other Firewall applications currently offer. I guess you mean more advanced User Interface, Comodo or Zonealarm might look better

Best free firewall
in System Security

I heard that if you are using free anti-virus, that it is better to use the free Zonealarm firewall then the WinXP firewall. Why is that? Is it because the Zonealarm firewall is more configurable or user friendly?
I was thinking of the free ZoneAlarm firewall+free Avast! Antivirus combination. What do you think? Any better choice? Thanks.
