  1. I dont know and have been trying for some time testing firewalls. But I cant decide what to use. I currently just have superanti and malwarebytes. But I was looking between PC tools and zone alarm free. But pc tools says more about keeping bad things out, and zone alarm also keeps out people. So what would you guys suggest to keeping people themself out instead of trojans and what not. I dont want someone getting access to my computer information.

    For a firewall, try Comodo Internet Security(without the AV portion installed).
    Then password protect your Admin account and give limited rights to your guest accounts.

    I agree. Comodo Personal Firewall is decent.
     
  4. Thank you Ill try that out. Also is that good to protect me from someone outside my house trying to hack a computer? These videos I C show people able to hack into people computers and ruin them or take data and use it to purchase off there computer, or taking my identity. So Iam looking for a firewall for my computer so no other computer can get into mine and read it or get stuff from it. any more suggestions of firewall programs or programs themself?

    Comodo is ranked as one of the best. Like anything else, you have to use your brain in configuring it and watch what you download.
    Practice safe surfing.
     
  6. I don't download anything cept off this site and once other time off a different site. But what I am saying is cant people get into your computer if you wanted without downloading anything? I just dont want anyone to get into my stuff.

    Comodo monitors anything trying to make a connection to your pc. It gives you the option to allow it or deny it. You should be fine. Just make sure you pay attention to what you allow and deny.

    That is one thing that can't be stressed enough. Most people just click OK just to get rid of the pop-ups.
    That is usually what happens when someone uses a registry "cleaner". Cleans your system by requiring a re-install in 95% of the cases.
