firewalls

[nicksinif]

which firewalls are good? i used to use zone alarm but it looks like they no longer offer a free version of it, so now im looking for alternatives

yes there is a free version of ZA, or you can also try the good old Sygate, both are my favorites

Spend the money and get a hardware firewall. Don't suck up CPU/RAM on a local firewall. Get AV and anti-spam along with a hardware firewall and you'll be set.

Note: get a hardware firewall that's got Stateful Inspection built into it. Don't let them fool you when they say "NAT is a firewall". It's not.

I won't touch those anymore. They started out 1/2 decent a few years ago when Symantec purchased Nexland and took in their products. But in typical Symantec style, went downhill with bloat and bugginess.
