Firon Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Kaspersky's firewall is trash, just switch to something else, or use your router's firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cars Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 thanks for your reply m8what firewall would you suggest m8im already using the built in firewall for the router Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 If you have a router firewall, you really don't need a software firewall.If you must use one, use Look 'n' Stop firewall. But be warned, it's not for the beginner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaosblade Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Actually, It's pretty fair even for a beginner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 If you must use one, use Look 'n' Stop firewall. But be warned, it's not for the beginner.And it hangs. And dont filter all the protocols. And its pretty vulnerable to flood attacks, etc, etc...Oh and yes, kaspersky firewall is crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus_1250 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Too bad, but you see this a lot. Kaspersky is a great virusscanner (best detection ratio's around), but they should try to stick with that, or develop something behind the screens that is of comparible quality as their virusscanner (which would be a hell of a job). IMHO, there is no such thing as a good software firewall. I've never seen one, at least, not one which can deal with p2p properly. And there doesn't seem to be a firewall that implements IDS a la Snort :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Look 'n' Stop firewall is supposed to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus_1250 Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Look 'n' Stop firewall is supposed to be good. Thanks, will give them a shot! Looked at it when LNS was still 1.x, see that there is now a 2.x :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vitae Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 I've got the same problem with Build 432 Slows my entire internet to a crawl.Refuses to let me even connect to some sites. (including utorrent.com!)And when I shut it down it slows my system down as well.oooo.....Is that the Easter Egg?!?!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Vitae: patch tcpip.sys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Is it really a good idea to recommend that people patch tcpip.sys without checking for 4226s first?Maybe µT could somehow detect if 4226s occur, then suggest patching tcpip.sys?

Vitae Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 i had a while ago.But i'd forgotten that some updates could reset it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dznutz Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 i use kaspersky firewall and antivirus. it has no effect on utorrent. maybe you have malware that activates once you run a p2p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodStaindHurricane Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Kaspersky's firewall is trash, just switch to something else, or use your router's firewall.Couldnt have said it better.I also 100% agree with Firon's next post. Look-n-Stop, if you must use one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
