i use Zone Alarm Security Suite, with Norton Antivirus 2004 Pro
dont like ZA's Antivirus, but its Firewall is really good!

[zyklon]

nope, if anyone wants to get into my computer bad enough they will. I just a NAT for looks.

[pr3dr49]

For my home computer, not really. But I always install firewalls when it comes to office work. Then I use OpenBSD or Cisco, if available.

[Ariel]

I use zone alarm, in the past i used norton but i think is more better zone alarm.

[Etherion]

Well guys, nowadays, it's important to have a good firewall...At least the one windows have preinstalled...

I use zonealarm even though I don't like it that much...

[hatebreed]

when i used windows, i used Norton...now i use some firewall, but i dont even know its name

[MSTR]

bad part of zone alarm is it's virus scanner, its not really good

[Greven il-Vec]

I use Norton. I guess it's good since I haven't got hacked yet . Every once in a while it says it's blocked a trojan attack, but I assume it was probably just some program trying to use a common trojan port.

[Assassin]

I use a hardware firewall(Cisco) and the windows firewall.

But i use hardware(router) firewall too.

[dejo]

I have too Zone Alarm Pro 5.0, and I have no problem with this programe.

[PnOyKiO]

I use ZoneAlarm but, it doesn't seem to work really good with gaming

[Spectre]

No firewalls are 'good with gaming'. Anything that monitors network activity is obviously going to draw a certain amount of bandwidth from it, and therefore slow everything down (although on fast connections, it mightn't be noticable).

[MSTR]

oh i use firewall, and im a gamer, and i have no speed problems

[Ariel]

What antivirus you use?? some free??

What is the besto for you???

[Xenon]

Well anybody who surf the net must have a firewall. I use the Zone alarm firewall. A firewall will help you keep trojans and viruses at bay. Even trojans infect your comp they can't send info out without your knowledge.

There are very few common ports unless your comp is on a local network using ports to connect. Normally a comp will have the http (80,8080),ftp(21),email ports on. If any program tries to use some other unknown port then it may surely be a trojan.
Do you use any p2p software. If so it maybe the prog which use other ports.

I use Northon2004, Kaspersky, ZoneAlarm

[ucbu]

Norton Antivirus. I have a router for my home network so there's no need for a software firewall.
Check for update for windows frequently.

[Argosoft]

I've been using MCafee antivirus + firewall for ages but now... if I update it, it crashes every time it starts! ;_; Luckily the firewall still works...

[Vacant]

I use Norton Antivirus, although the subscription has run out ill have to upgrade that...

I would recommend Adaware also...yea, i know its for spyware, not to protect you from viruses, but its still on the "destroying badness" theme...

[cnfir]

i use the firewall in the WinXP....
it's really very good!!!

[itasor]

I don't use software firewalls (besides XP's) becasue I have 2 routers with built in firewalls. The software just makes it all more complicated becasue it won;t let me FTP through 4 firewalls and it blocks many other stuff.

I have had people try to DoS me and my firewalls blocked it all.

[Bash]

I use the mcafee security suite 6.0, which has a personal firewall, virus scan etc. all in one!

i dont use the built-in XP firewall because that blocks some of the p2p programs that i use, and other important stuff...

[wszone]

Try www.trend.com
It scans virus for free. Sometimes, if you are lucky, it deletes infected files for you.

[outwarsecrets]

i used mcafee anti virus, but that exprired so i use lavasoft - ad-aware and spybot - search and destroy
