im thinking of buying mcafee which can block pop ups and stuffs..but is there other firewall that can block pop ups,banners and other stuffs and does not need much resource on your PC..

[past tense]

yes there are many,mcafee might actually be a resource hog.
i don't think any of the free firewalls block pop ups.here is a link to bunches of firewalls for you to look at https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/soft7.htm

The most mainstream firewalls are Norton and Zonealarm. I use Kerio when i'm gaming as it's the only firewall that doesn't lag me or give me petty alerts for the most lowest of incoming traffic threats.

For windows Norton, Zonealarm, Kerio or Outpost would be a good choice.

thanx..i don't mind buying firewalls softwares tho,i need sth that is not resourceful and good

HI breadloon.
Have been using Sygate Personal firewall,it warns you of all pop ups,and then blocks them.It is used by many who use this site..

[breadloon]

My family owns a copy of both Norton Personal Firewall and Norton Antivirus(I forget what year). When my subscription on this computer ran out, I uninstalled both and installed AVG Antivirus and Zonealarm firewall. Its the only freeware firewall I've tried, but it works damn well.

I love Zone Alarm Pro.

If you have an army of script kiddies or l33t hax0rs (whatever lol)after you don't choose zonealarm

[Big-K]

I'm sure none of us have an army of script kiddies and 1337 4@x0rz after us.

Sygate Personal Firewall works fine for me. Zone Alarm Freeware also works fine but it uses more resources on my system than Sygate does.

[breadloon]

thanks, now im stuck of using zone alarm or sygate lol..

i need a pop up blocker,i find that google,yahoo,msn toolbar does not really block well..i also need to blocks some banners and cookies..

Firefox browser does a good job of blocking popups

[GoJoAGoGo]

I use this Freeware Popup Blocker called CleanMyPC on my IE 6.0 Browser and it works fine.

Mozilla Firefox comes with a Popup Blocker already installed and is my default Browser. I only use IE 6.0 for Windows Update or for some websites that don't support Firefox.
