 | Junior Member with 20 posts. | | | | Solved: firewall ? Which is better windows or McAfee firewall ? If both are on will they conflict with each other and why ? Thanks alot Techguys you all have helped me very much since I have came to this sight . | | Senior Member with 677 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2009 Location: Mumbai, India Experience: the 9th wonder :P | | mcafee firewall is much better than windows firewall, the windows firewall can only scan incoming traffic and not the outgoing traffic, windows firewall isn't effective, haven't seen it work efficiently. Don't have two firewalls turned on simultaneously, it may lead to program conflicts | | Distinguished Member with 54,745 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacra Experience: Having fun | | You may also want to check your ISP for free software becauseyou can get from comcast and and some others the mcafee firewall.
But they are branded. If you change ISP's then they can not be updated.
Also just about any firewall is better the windows firewall | | Distinguished Member with 3,730 posts. | | Join Date: May 2004 Experience: Intermediate | | firewall i like comodo free firewall ,the new one does a lot better job. you download both firwall & antivirus but only install what you want. watch you don't download a new homepage ,new browser and toolbar ,you just need to uncheck the boxes, http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/ | | Distinguished Member with 3,622 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2008 Location: Near Washington, D.C.

An ISP stands for Internet Service Provider, companies that provides Internet to customers. | | Distinguished Member with 54,745 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacra Experience: Having fun |
