    do you use any kind of firewall? curious to know what firewall you use in your PC.

    which is best? any good firewall for free?

    i tried antivirus looks like many virus/worms find a way to bypass the scanner one way or other. i figured out firewall is the best to block unwanted programs.

    Let me know what you think!

    BTW: i used comodo firewall (free) and looks promising.

    Comodo is great, another one would be Zonealarm, the free edition works fantastic and is more or less maintenance free.

    Zonealarm has a free edition, which is hidden somewhere in the page, they try not to make it too visible :)

    I have used ZoneAlarm and have liked it. Currently I stick with my d-Link EBR-2310 ( i know this is more of a router, but it does have the NAT and SPI firewall). So far I like it and it works great.

    I have also used Zonealarm once, but from around 2 years I am with Armor2net plus antivurus of course(f-secure) and I am pretty satisfied. Btw Bitdefender is also not bad..

    Honestly, I feel that Kaspersky is the best firewall for any windows platform. It's not free, but you can protect 3 PC's for 79.95 a year which is a great deal. I have been using it for years and have never been infected/attacked.

    Best firewall is a hardware one, use a Router.
