timgaunt Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Ok, I've done a search but nothing came up obvious so I thought I'd ask.I'm currently using ZoneAlarms -mainly to block program's access to the internet when I don't want it (not illegal stuff, more stuff that I don't want sending out information).Now I've found that it conflicts with uTorrent in a big way (BSOD) so I'm looking for an alternative solution, could someone point me in the right direction please -I'm behind a router so I'm more concerned about the outgoing attempts than the incomming...FWIW I've seen people recommend Jetico (http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirewall.htm)Also, I think the argument of "you don't need a firewall if you've got one on your router" is somewhat flawed as a lot of people have virus'/trojans on their PC which then opens access to their computer to the hacker, having a software firewall goes some way to reducing that risk (though as people have pointed out, ZA being one of the major software firewalls is also the most likely to have a work around built in).Anyways, it's not so much a "lets dis ZA" -more a "I've got ZA so what should I replace it with" question TIATim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pax3 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I'm using Sygate and it works fine with utorrent. Besides it's a great firewall and its free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
