Hi Guys,

What is the best completely free FIREWALL SOFTWARE OUT OF YOUR EXPERIENCE SUITABLE FOR WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION?

1)Comodo firewall(disable hyperactive)

funkysourav · 30-01-2011, 01:03 PM

For a newbie i would recommend Online Armor Free due to its superior usability
Comodo can be a bit too much to handle sometimes
but it is the best

thetechfreak · 30-01-2011, 01:06 PM

Comodo blocks EVERYTHING when you select the option.

Comodo firewall isn't for first timers. if misused or selecting options without knowing knowing what one is doing, either everything will be blocked or everything will be notified. seriously not for the first time user.

I think there is a good firewall from PC tools

**ssk_the_gr8** · 31-01-2011, 04:37 PM

online armor free and comodo firewall are the best IMO

thetechfreak · 04-02-2011, 08:39 PM

^ again. comodo is only for advanced user.

abhijangda · 04-02-2011, 10:18 PM

Comodo is best.

thetechfreak · 04-02-2011, 10:30 PM

^ you're right on that.

**Sam** · 04-02-2011, 11:02 PM

i kind of hate Zone alarm & PC Tools firewall. the UI of Zone alarm isn't at al upto the standard. & PC tools softwares are not so reliable (correct me if i am wrong).

thetechfreak · 04-02-2011, 11:12 PM

well, threatfire of pc tools did cause me some problems.

I prefer COMODO though novice can get troubled if they experiment too much in the begning. Its RED thus too hot to handle without care

No one use Outpost security suit free..!!... I using outpost with AVAST free and still faced no problem, outpost also have a antivirus engine in this free suite.... Dont worry, outpost automatically adjust with other alreay installed antivirus and do not make any problem....

**topgear** · 17-03-2011, 03:55 AM

I use and prefer comodo

Tech.Masti · 17-03-2011, 07:57 AM

but comodo main problem is irritating asking.... i also tried, but at-last settled with Outpost free

adi007 · 17-03-2011, 10:27 AM

Comodo Any day

You really dont need any firewall if u surf normal sites.

Peace~~~!

misconception
you need a firewall no matter what, if you value your data and privacy that is

Ok yeah for official matters may be....But i really dont care that much about data....I call my friends DATA hoarders(2TBs, 1.5TBs, Average 512+??GBs)....Hehehehehe.

And for me, Firewall does more harm than of use....I play online games a lot and its hard to configure and play it all at the same time....Ports...Hamachi...Garena...Gameranger...St eam....Xfire.....half of them stop working properly under firewalls.

And who needs so much of unwanted protection when i surf dirrty sites that are forum based and I have no lan access....AV takes care of pendrives.....And who wants a slower computer.

Peace~~~!
