Im having firewall issues and I need to find a temporary firewall that I can download for free off the net. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (please include Link to download)

The three main free firewalls that I am aware of are:

Sygate Personal Firewall: http://smb.sygate.co...pf_standard.htm

Kerio Personal Firewall 4: http://www.kerio.com/kpf_download.html

Zonealarm: http://www.zonelabs....d=dbtopnav_zass

I have always liked and used Sygate Personal Firewall, and I know many people also seem to like the Kerio firewall.

I used to use the Sygate personal firewall back in the day... until i started paying a monthly fee for mcafee's firewall. Now mcafee is messing up so I cancelled the subscription. I just reinstalled the Sygate firewall and afterwards I have no internet access. i have tried all the usual settings with it, to no avail, so i uninstalled it and now im fixing to try the kerio firewwall...

thanks for the info

ok, have you uninstalled all the mcafee apps? post a hijackthis log so we can make sure its been properly removed.

I used Agnitum's free firewall when I got my comp. for a while until I found a good permanent one. It works well and is free for 30 days. it's called Outpost Firewall Pro and you can get it here http://agnitum.com/p...st/download.php . Happy Downloading!

If you have XP PRO with SP2 why not use the windows firewall built in. It can be turned on and off in the security center icon start-programs-accessories-system tools-security center. it works, dependable, and dont have to purchase cause it's alreadt there.

Hello,

Most users choose to use a more advanced firewall since, as far as I understand, since the Windows firewall only controls incoming communications and has no control over outgoing communications. This limitation is a main reason users look at other options. But the Windows firewall is definitely better than no firewall.

Cheers,
Tom
