I used to use Sygate Personal Firewall Professional. Then, I switched to Zone Alarm. Now, I am back to Sygate because I feel it is the best firewall. Thanks SuperXP for helping to remind me of this. :)

Zonealarm gets my vote, however, I prefer a hardware firewall, less chance of going down and it doesnt eat resources. I find NO reason to run a software one (other than the windows one) with a switch/router with firewall.

Yes agreed. I have a router hardware firewall built-in, and it's a Linksys so it's EXTRA secure. As someone previously mentioned, software firewalls run off of the OS; if there is a flaw in the OS, then there's a flaw in the firewall.

I do as well. But as I previously said about software firewalls,

I just tried Zone Alarm again. Too many complications. I like Sygate, easy & smooth-running. Not to mention that many corporate big-shot companies use it as well.

OMG this sygate pro rocks. thanks guys for telling me about it.
Sure. Thank SuperXP as well.
Sygate Personal Firewall was all I used for ~8 months. Then, for some strange reason, someone showed me Zone Alarm, and I switched. Now, I'm proud to be back with Sygate. :rolleyes:

I would trust Norton the most, but it is a huge resource hogger, as I previously mentioned. I have no antivirus, and I have never gotten a virus either. Some tips on how to protect yourself without a virus scanner:
Use a VERY good firewall & spyware scanner.
Do not visit sites that have a possible risk of transmitting a virus or trojan horse to you.

Kasperskey personal pro 5.5.20 anti Virus rank #1 in the worled right now

Adaware pluse
Spybot S&D
Here is a freeky fact for you people. I was useing AVG pro 2005 Mcafee 2005 anti virus version and switched to Kasperskey today. I scan for virus every day with AVG pro and mcafee 2005 and it said i had none. Kasperskey just found and deleted 27 virises on my computer that AVG abd mcafee didnt.
I still have 0 viruses, and I have been running without anti-virus for ~1-2years. Just to make sure, I go to Symantec's website and scan my computer using their virus & spyware scanner. None get detected. :wub:
