COMODO Firewall Pro. It takes a bit of learning; you may need to do a little research or go through the Help file a bit, but it's pretty effective.

If you have a router for your Internet connection it may have a built-in firewall. Send us the model number if you like and we can tell you if you aren't sure. Not that I condone this action at all, but I'm running my Vista SP2 laptop without a software AV or firewall behind a D-Link WBR 2310 and I've never had an infection.

I prefer Zone Alarm, it's pretty much straightforward and easy to configure

Dear juliansgirl,
Comodo firewall(Free) is no longer available as a stand-alone download! Outpost Firewall Free is a good choice. Link :http://free.agnitum.com/

Online Armor Free is an excellent choice! Link :http://www.tallemu.com/free-firewall...-software.html

Zone-Alarm Firewall has already been mentioned.Best wishes!

Dear diana123,
Just checked out your computer specs. and it was similar to the script used in my neighboring planet : ggdyasghdfsagyghfuagbfddfdsdssesdffdddsdytagfgtsftagys

You are very clever, i must confess as you neatly introduced the "satsang" link! Do you know,ALL DIALOGUE IS "VIOLENCE" as all the time you are trying to convince the other person to your point of view,using the vocal cords as the sword blades!

Dear gorgea,
You and i seem to be only two people who use Windows Defender! It's next to useless is the site members opinion! You have the best combination of tools to protect yourself, except that Elvandil, a highly respected Moderator of this site says that around 800 viruses are generated daily and no A-V can contain that!
PS: What's New York web design got to do with firewalls?

reginas12
diana123
gorgea

Most coincidental methinks!

Dear 1002richards,
Never seen such concerted effort towards what?

The three say they are "not comp. savvy"! If that is true, i will CLIMB to the top of the Eiffel Tower daily (not using the elevators)!

Dear dotty999,
It's a pleasure meeting you and viewing your post in this thread!
Actually, i typed a harsher post to one of the threesome saying"look at this post(your's), simple ,effective and based on personal experience". "common sense is uncommonly found"-don't remember the originator!

A great man told me"if you don't quote the source of a quote, you become the origin"!

it's nice to meet you too! I enjoy reading your posts
there seems to be a sudden influx of funny members right now they are easily recognizable though by their content and mode of posting, I'm sure some more will be along shortly just to test the water

Dear 1002richards,
As President Charles De Gaulle , the first president of France said "it is very difficult to rule over a country which produces three hundred and sixty varieties of Cheese"! I can send over " the French Charouce cheese" which is considered rare! Bon Appetit!
