Firewall For Xp

greenhut · Dec 10, 2018

Hi again guys, looking for some pointers.
I have 3 laptops, 2 on W10 and 1 on XP.
The XP unit runs 24/7 collecting and sending/sharing shippng traffic data in my area of the North Sea.(geeky i know)
So Im looking for a firewall and security for the XP machine. Its not used for anything else but the shipping stuff but does run 24/7
I intend to use Windows firewall with ASC 12 on the W10 units.
Any suggestions for the XP set up?
TIA

take a look here https://windowsreport.com/antivirus-windows-xp-service-pack-3/ its saying that panda free works with windows xp sp3 and Firewall it's saying that zonealarm still works with xp sp3 aswell but it's going to be really hard to find security and firewall as Windows XP has ceased being supported by Microsoft.

I know Aryeh Goretsky from several forums. He actually started his career in security by working with John McAfee (before McAfee became strange). You might want to read through the paper on securing XP that he wrote.

It might give you ideas on how to further protect that laptop.

Also utilize the hardware firewall in your modem-router.
