i need the best best firewall

[cheesygoldfish]

I need a firewall. I have ZoneAlarm free right now but it's not compatible with Utorrent because it blocks all connections to my forwarded port on my router.

I need a really good one considering I have recently been hacked.

I dont mind paying. Thanks

I think what you really need is to find the Networking forum.

 

[xcript]

Comodo (it's free).

 

[SSSnail]

LOL... anyways, a decently priced good software firewall is McAfee, use it.

 

[Zolty]

ZA free works fine, you just need to learn to configure it.

[FoBoT]

[DanTMWTMP]

Your thread is still alive in here...

NAT lol.

 

[SonnyDaze]

This is a good firewall.

Do you use any hardware firewalls?

What exactly happened when you got "hacked"? I'm putting odds in the favor that some of the warez you downloaded from uTorrent had a trojan in them.

and stop pirating you pirate

ZoneAlarm never blocked my uTorrent connections. If anything, ZoneAlarm was causing my wireless connection at school to drop about every 10 minutes. I switched to Comodo, which is much more configurable than ZoneAlarm (Free).

try pouring gasoline down one side of your room and lighting it, thats one way to make a good firewall.

 

[sdifox]

The best firewall is to unplug your network cable. Other than that, it's all hackable.

 

[AMDZen]

Agnitum Outpost is the best Firewall there is, period, end of story.

Comodo is good also, not as good as Outpost but you get what you pay for. Comodo is free

I run an IT consulting firm and right now we're managing the IT services for a company with ~350 computers. We use the mcafeeasap total protection for business program because virus and firewall protection are easily deployed and managed from one web based console, however I must recommend AGAINST their firewall. Their A/V does a pretty decent job, but their firewall does not remember settings, which has been confirmed by one of their engineers (who I was eventually escalated to when tier 3 couldn't help me and due to the number of licenses that we have with them) they are *working* on the issue but don't have a fix for it. Anyways we use the windows firewall which we can manage through our Domain security policy. Pretty simple and effective.
