Question

Which Firewall is best to have Zone Alarm 6.5 or McAfee firewall which comes with the antivirus

Answer 1

Comodo Firewall sucks balls you want the best free firewall one word !ONLINEAMOR ! end of story! doesnt win all the awards for nothing! look it up!

Answer 2

The Mcafee firewall included with the anti-virus should do the job fine all thou ZoneAlarm has better outbound filtering.

Answer 3

Comodo Firewall Pro is the best free firewall. Windows firewall only blocks incoming traffic. It does not stop outbound traffic - it wasn't designed too. According to Microsoft, your anti-virus is responsible for detecting any type of malware (which could potentially send your private information to hackers without your knowledge).

Comodo Firewall Pro includes proactive malware defense for free. This will only help keep you safer. Kaspersky and NOD32 are the best anti-virus programs but you can get AVG, Avast! or AntiVir for free (install only one). Spybot Search and Destory, Super Anti-spyware or Adaware are all free anti-spyware applications you can download. I also recommend Firefox, it's a far better and safer alternative to Internet Explorer. If you add-on McAfee SiteAdvisor, it will warn you of potentially harmful sites.

Answer 5

I had McCafee but have found zone alarm to be much better

Answer 6

The best firewall is usually determined by the "least intrusive to your system, with the ability to perform stateful packet inspection".

Zonealarm is highly recommended, and very widely used. Least intrusive by definition would be the software that will actually allow you to continue working after it has been installed.

I use a hardware firewall on my router that is not designated either McAfee, Zonealarm or otherwise. This firewall traps/drops DoS as well as performs standard stateful inspection...so I don't actually have one, or need to have one on my desktop. And, I have never had a problem...
