Okay, i'll give VIPRE a try-- if dinesh(the hard core ESET fan) has switched :0 it may be worth a shot! Lets hope its all good

And also, Hello, which district/colony do you live in Mumbai/Bombay?

I am going to Try Vipre, But I need a GOOD firewall.... Laptop+ITT Tech.
Any recommendations?

This one's good. PC Tools Firewall Plus - Free Firewall Download

Thanks for the tip. Currently trying it out. Since I like their ThreatFire, I figured I would give this a try. Pretty easy to setup and configure so far.

threat fire doesnt let me open any of my browsers. i posted this issue in pctools forum as well but no satisfactory reply.

That's too bad, because it is a good product. Works well here, but I understand you not wanting to run it due to that issue. I wouldn't run it either.

Using Opera 10 here and no issues. Also no issues with IE 32 and 64-bit.

Very strange that they have not responded to you as to what the issue may be. Have you tried something other than FF as a browser just to see?

 

[Dinesh]

yep, tried to open ie8, wont open either. when i uninstall threatfire, everything starts working fine.

Oh well, you tried I guess.

Btw, PC Tools Firewall is running great here. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[Dinesh]

you are welcome
hey is there a good firewall test available? i've been using pc tools firewall+ byt never got a chance to test it.

 

[Dinesh]

tried the grc leak test and here is the result.
pc tools firewall plus FAILED!

But not with TF:

You know what though? I'm not sure it even matters because my router must be doing the work already. I disabled PC Tools Firewall AND Windows Firewall, and ran a test at GRC (shields up test) and look:

 

[Dinesh]

it could be the router firewall which is doing the job for you.

Right.

Not to go off topic, but, what router do you use? My current router is messing up, I haft to re-start it so the internet is fast again. Im looking for a secure router, but not one that will Block all my Online games such as Xbox Live and Playstation Network. Also, one that you dont haft to re-start, plug anything out exc to get it working again. Thanks!

It's an older one...had it for a while now. Linksys BEFW11S4.

My router is Cisco rv016. I absolutely love it.
Plenty of Ethernet ports. I have 7 left on it, and 4 left or my old router which is now a Wireless A/P.
