Which software firewall do you guys recommend?

I've been happy with Kerio, and haven't had any issues with it.

i can't recommend a good one, though i can tell you to stay away from enigma. It's really effective. It takes control of your whole computer and asks for permission or blocks everything you try to do. SOOOO frustrating!!!

I've only been using it for about a week but Zone Alarm has been good so far. It's free too.

It depends on what kind of gateway you have and either it is well configured. A gateway acting as a firewall (usually) is good enough to stop things from coming in, but it won't stop rouge programs on individual computers getting out.

what do u mean by gateway?

I have a comp sharing internet connection to a few other comps what sort of gateway is that?

 

[sunny]

"Gateway" is just a generic name for something that interfaces the outside world with your network - could be a computer, a router, whatever.

So it would depend on what software your Internet sharing computer is running to do the job.

I would recommend ZA on all computers.

ZA is better than Norton and is free.
