Solved: Firewall & AVG 8
Hi,
Could someone recommend a good firewall that is compatible with AVG 8? I'm running the free edition and like it. I also have Windows XP.
Thank you

Comodo Firewall Pro is the best free firewall and so far i have of no compatibility and i would have no idea as i will never touch AVG because of terrible detection rates, terrible features and having so many bugs in the new program.

To me, it's like trying to fight modern day technology with yesterdays weapons.

Thanks and no offense. I replied to the wrong button (PM), nothing more. I was wondering why my original reply didn't post, hence me posting it again. Turns out, it did post but by a PM, not my intent.
