[Shadowfire]

GODDAMIT!!!

Some say that BlackICe is goodie, sime say Zone Alarams, some TPF..

Now which one is extremely the best one?!?!?!
I had ZoneAlarsm, and BlackIce, and now i have TPF under WinXP, so with which one should i stick?

 

[RedRooster]

Black Ice sucks, Zone Alarm rules. Steve Gibson says so!!

What does God damning anything have to do with choosing a firewall? Or, is your vocabulary so weak that you have no other way to express yourself?

I won't help just because you typed the title all in caps!

This has been discussed many times before *COUGHsearchCOUGH* but...

I use the Norton firewall with my DSL and am very happy with it. Seems to catch everything, has a "press button and get updated stuff" function and is easy to configure with all my games/apps. No conflicts or anything goofy and doesn't slow down my connection at all (I've checked).

How's that?

Goddamit - Because i am lost in this subject...?

...

I had Norton before, didn't like it...

 

[Fausto]

Why not? Everything works great, Shields Up! says I'm airtight, no problems with games....I don't see what's not to like.

It's your money tho.

MONEY-HA!

I don't pay jack for software... all i get is lisenced from my work, as an IT, i get anything i want, all the time i want it, for free. Thats how i got Windows XP, Office XP, and Photoshop - fully legal, and w/o paying a dime.

Back to the subject, no one here praises TPF?

You have a job?!

My you seem to have a bit of an attitude.....

I doubt its legal, if its licensed from work, then you taking it home to use doesn't at all make it fully legal.

btw: use zone alarm or even better yet a linux/bsd box doing NAT

I think soybomb's right. You're an idiot. If you have access to all this stuff, try them out and see what you think. Don't waste our time with your wiseass comments.
