Windows 7 Firewall Enough?

[jack1953]

I've seen a lot of positive posts about Commodo Firewall. I like to be protected, but also do not want anything eating up resources that's basically 'overkill'.

Opinions/Advice?

Comodo often causes BSOD's I would not install it. Win 7's firewall is fine.

Are you behind a router of is the computer directly connected to the modem you use to talk with the interwebs? If you are behind a router, then the only work a firewall will have on your system is outbound protection...aka., pestering you every time an application wants to connect to the internet.

For home users, I always recommend Windows 7's built in Firewall. That and coupled with a few other security programs like MSE and Spyware blaster.

Windows' firewall is hassle-free anyway.

Windows firewall, Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes and keeping away from dodgy websites and links should keep your computer safe from the bad stuff.

The inbuilt Windows Firewall is considered appropriate.
A lot of us use it here.
