FredSam43 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I used to be a Norton Utilities fan, but Microsoft Securities Essentials works better and faster for me (Win7 64bit)Also being behind a NAT router is probably my main protection (NetGear something or other.)

All this and more can be had with one click to guide/setup or FAQ's.... oh yeah btw I use windows built in firewall... cause it's there and passes every firewall test I've run.... it shows stealth ports, no open ports and works just fine. One problem if you like to fiddle around with a lot of custom settings this ain't the one. Look at Comodo "free" (used it for a while) ....enough shit on there to give you a headache... or Zone alarm One note... some antivirus programs don't like utorrent .... http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=2785Avast comes to mind.....Rush........

Jamesparker8o7 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I am using Comodo, its working like a charm without interrupting my torrent client. I don't think there is any interruption from firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I am using Comodo, its working like a charm without interrupting my torrent client. I don't think there is any interruption from firewall.Even though your no longer with us "Banned"... I'll still give my two cents about your post since the thread is still active... for now. X2 on Comodo... awesome firewall, lots of custom settings to use for the advanced as well. Used to run it with Defense+ "disabled" most of the time it... it would give erroneous warnings to totally benign memory access of certain programs. Just a little higher maintenance than I like... my favorite firewall is one that's works quietly in the background and never reminds you it's there, unless it's absolutely necessary like... (unrecognized application requesting access) "block or allow". TICK.....Rush... "not banned yet... but probably close" :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I just use the Windows firewall when I need one. Too much nonsense with third party ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
