What firewall to use?

Dear members,

I am looking for a good firewall. I want one that is good and has as low memory usage as possible. Also, I don't want additional crap such as a pop-up blocker or cookies blocker or whatever, I just need a firewall:major

I'm am using Sygate Personal Firewall atm but I've noticed that the last version dates from 2004...So this piece of lovely software is getting a little old. Does anyone know a worthy replacement?

Any help will be appreciated :drool


Thx

Very nice samtal, nice comparative!
Thx, I'll have a look right away

 

Also check out http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads34.html for a big listing of various FREE and SHAREWARE ($$$) offerings. Bazza

 

Thanks bazza

But I think we've been talking in another thread. LOL. My bad, I'm a forum noob, haha.

The best firewall for now.Have low memory usage,and it's free.

 

That's OK. We all start at #1. :major Bazza

 

Your choice in that other thread, , (and for others, if interested).

System Safety Monitor 2.3.0.612

Bit of a difference, but check out the Freeware links in the MG Firewall link I gave. Nearly all of us are cheapskates and use a FREE Firewall. Bazza

 

Really useful, informative, link, samtal.

Thanks a heap. I've just downloaded Comodo.:major Bazza

Is comodo a light firewall? like light as in doesn't use too much RAM? And because this is also a bit related, I'd like to ask whether NOD32 or Kaspersky AV is better.

 

Check the link in #2, by Samtal. That is what it is there for.
I've just installed Comodo and am trying to teach it which applications are safe to use.

Wow, that is significantly less memory than Zonealarm uses. I think I will switch to it since it appears to get good reviews too.

 

Yeah comodo is pretty good. I've already uninstalled System Safety Monitor because it was not free and I could not find a cracked version :s

Anyways, comodo is good

 

Don't mention "cracked version" here at MG.
This is a strictly legal site. :cool The owners of MG, moderators, (and users) will come down on anyone like a ton of bricks, if "cracks" or "warez", etc., are requested, or mentioned. Bazza
