Parkjack Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hi, I keep cleaning my computer but pop-ups and Adware, among other things keep popping up. Winfixer is one of the worst. I'm running XP and was wondering if anyone knew of a good Firewall that I could download (hopefully for free) that works well at keeping these thing out. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!

gunner Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Take a look at the software forum. If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted August 23, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2005 I recommend Zone Alarm. Its the easiest to use and is the one I use personally. http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm/3000-104...tml?tag=lst-0-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJpailo Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 zone alarm lacks security for wireless networks. I prefer sygate, but since symantec accquired them, strangely, I have been having problems lately. http://www.lavasoftusa.com http://wiki.lunarsof.../PC_Maintenance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capman Posted September 1, 2005 Share Posted September 1, 2005 Has anyone tried the new AVG Firewall? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didn't know there was one, I would wait a while anyway, until I read and hear more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenknight Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 It's not a separate AVG firewall, it's the antivirus plus a firewall. It's also 50 bucks for a 2 year license, which means I won't be trying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rawr Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 ZoneLab's current software version of 6.0 is buggy..would wait until they fix all the bugs and come out with an update..which should be soon. There's a beta being tested right now and should be out shortly. But until then..check out www.filseclab.com. Their firewall hasn't failed me yet..extremely light on cpu resources and memory..and its GUI/Interface is, if not as easy as ZoneLab's ZoneAlarm.
