mr don Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 I love how easy & simple/portable your products are. How I wish that you guys could make a portable firewall that could save settings in an ini file. The current offerings in firewalls do not impress me, for they are either too complicated, or they mess up settings on the computer if you are not very, very careful! Wish you had a firewall program! If you ever decide to, I will definitely try it out! This is what I am missing! Thanks for your good softwares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very true which is why Windows Firewall used alongside good anti-malware will get you by very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 That's very true which is why Windows Firewall used alongside good anti-malware will get you by very well. I use Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials - I find that together they offer a high level of security and both are free, which is an added bonus.

Moderators Andavari Posted May 2, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2010 I use Windows Firewall and Microsoft Security Essentials - I find that together they offer a high level of security and both are free, which is an added bonus. I use Windows XP Pro SP3 and Windows Firewall since that built-in firewall never once gives an issue and just plain and simple works without being a completely annoying bugger. I wish I could use MSE however on two different XP installs it just doesn't get along perfectly with my system. Possibly my system is a bit ancient being a 2003 Dell but the specs are good on it. I'll try MSE again whenever I get a newer more modern system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ident Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I detest firewall software, windows firewall and a router. No fate but what we make Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DennisD Posted May 2, 2010 Moderators Share Posted May 2, 2010 Windows Firewall for a long time. Tried others (two way) and always return quickly to Windows own. Works great on my system with Avast (Home). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmcintosh Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 For nearly a decade relied on a router alone. This of course is my preference. Hate software firewalls, includes windows firewall. William (or Bill) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
