Firewall

[bobAlike]

Can anybody recommend a good firewall?
I've been using Zonealarm for years now without issue but since the latest upgrade it keeps interfering with my iphone and this week alone had to restore it multiple times.

Cheers.

Not sure, why would it want to block Google?

Sorry, just a bad joke.  Thought you weren't a google fan (must be mixing you up with someone else).


The native Windows 7 firewall is meant to be as good, if not better, than a lot of the alternatives.  What OS are you using?

The best firewall solution is often your router - but not sure how 'expert' you have to be to get the most out of it.  Do we have any computer security bods on here?

Some basic information there about configuring the Windows 7 firewall, if that helps?

Cheers Kin, you are right I'm not a google fan.
I think I will use Win 7 firewall with my router set up correctly.
I was just being lazy.
