it depends on what you want...
there are both Software and Hardware firewalls
Software ones are like Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Norton etc...
Hardware ones are like the ones that you find on SOHO routers and as stand alone rack mount units...
Something like Zone Alarm (which has a free version) is prolly your best bet as far as price performance goes...but generally hardware FW are the absoluete best you can ever get.
i'm talking out of the software one's which one is the best?
best is completely debateable...
try them all out and see which one you like best...
ok...lets put it this way...i want people's opinions on the firewalls they use. i dont want to try everyone, because then that just clutters my registry and all that with all that stuff ive installed an uninstalled.
Use hardware only - a NAT router.
Norton Internet Security(NIS) 2003
I said software.....not hardware.....all i have is one computer...i dont need a router right now.Quote:
