1c3d0g Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'd say a lot...Norton is bloated crapware anyway. :/ I never could understand why they had to make it so intrusive, and downright disruptive when you wanted to customize its settings...:| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animorc Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think the Norton issue has to be fixed. Norton Internet Security is the most common security suit included in factory-built computers in Sweden at least, and it wouldn't surprise me if it is internationally as well.

Firon Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 Firewalls commonly break programs, because they do things they aren't supposed to... it's not really the program's fault if the firewall screws it up, it's the firewall's fault for interfering on the network stack in an improper way. A good firewall doesn't cause these problems. If you remove your firewall and the program works, it's the firewall. If you set up the firewall properly and it still screws the program, it's the firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winMX_67 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Avast! http://www.avast.com it scans the files you are d/ling in µTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus_1250 Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Avast is nice, but it's interface is kind a bloated and scanning isn't really fast. I don't think a proper firewall exists. I used to use Kerio, untill I did a thorough dig on network-traffic with Ethereal (aside from the fact that is GUI is buggy and Intrusion Detection wasn't usefull).I wonder if there actually is a decent Personal Firewall.
