Advice about a good (possibly free) firewall on windows XP? |
|
I have used Zonealarm but it posed installation and interference problems with BF2 if I recall correctly.
I'd like to control what is coming in and going out of my PC better.
Thanks in advance, bmc

1. Comodo is excellent and free. |
|
AVG is an excellent free antivirus program that works well with Comodo.

7. Installed with a bit of "custom" options, and it is wonderful |

Use a hardware firewall as first line of defense.
