You really dont need a firewall with Triband, because the router has a firewall built in.

It would be good protection if one use router firewall along with software firewall My rating of firewall is ..1.Agnitum Outpost Firewall, Version 2.7 2.Zonelabs ZoneAlarm Firewall, Pro 6 3.Kerio Firewall, Personal 4.1 4.Look'n'Stop Firewall, Personal5.Sygate Firewall, Personal Pro 5.5Any other firewall is a jokeLook n Stop & kerio are lite on resources , Outpost is CPU hog , but exellent protection.at present I am using hardware firewall & ZoneAlarm 6
outpost (preferred) and sygate . Dunno why but i hate zonealarm 😛 but its not a bad firewall i just dont like its interface.lightest firewalls are look'n'stop and Jetico personal firewall
guys i just tried zone alarm security suite 6 yesterdayi must say i didn't like it very bitit has some sort for system firewall built inso whenever any application is doing any system changes it halts it and waits for ur response , even when u r changing system settings or installing programs.and then it has an active antivirus which just scans every file that is opened closed or changed evertime onlinethat also slows system down a lotand there are many other things that it has which slows the system down a lotas while u r download a file it is scanning it alongsideso it hogs the cpu a lot so i am going back to my Zone alarm security suite 5.5 or whatever it was
I know there have been many discussions about this before, but I had to ask it myself:Which is the best Firewall?I currently use ZA Security Suite. Though its excellent, it blocks almost everything and you need to configure it a lot before you can actually use it. It also installs certain software without your permission like the MailFrontier Desktop. I have disabled the AV and Anti-Spyware in it bcoz they were makin my system slow even with 512MB RAM.Now, everyone knows ZA is the undisputed leader, but I need just a simple firewall without the add-ons. Even though a simple ZA Firewall is there, it slows down my system.So which firewall should I opt for? It shouldn't slow down my system and effectively block the dirt.Also, one more thing, does the simple ZA firewall also have Ad-Blocking option like its Security Suite?
I was usingZA but it slowed down my sys a lot especially boot up.....Sygate is better in terms of speedAnd ZA's antivirus is is shit....dont use it even AVG is much better than that though I 'd recommend Trend or Panda
