Hmm... The free outpost certainly lacks some features but it's good enough.Also remember that not every software of the same category have the same features. But each of them has some unique feature. It depends on the requirement, skill level and preference of a person to choose the right firewall for his own use. Isn't it ? :lol:
 
yup u r right on that 😉 .
 
Hi guys, For the brief period that I had net connectivity at home. ZA posed no problem for me. It took me around 15-20 mins. Of course did download the manual as I do of most of the softwares I've . Once gone through it ZA is simple. The only thing it's supposed to be a bloatware in memory requirements.
 
i find it consuming decent enough memory around here. 😕 but then i have 512... and planning to go 1 gb in a month's time. 😕
 
go to http://www.firewallleaktester.com/tests.htm and see none of ur favourite firewall passes some heavy tests 😛 . No zonealarm,sygate or outpost pass all tests . Best ranking is with look'n'stop firewall which is a very small firewall (takes hardly 4-5 mb ram 🙂 ).

If u want real advanced firewall then go to www.jetico.com its interface is freindly so begginers should not jump to it presently but very good for advanced users ..

This firewall passes all leak test but it isnt shown on leaktest site yet . And its a freeware too 😀
 
Right now testing mcafee personal firewall plus 6 ! 😀I try many softwares in the same category before adapting to something...And that testing service says that outpost is one of the best... :lol:ZA is average, sushubh !!!
 

my pc is not fort knox that i have to be afraid about the worst hackers out there...
 
Then its fort william...Kolkatahahaha :lol:I had not dishonoured ZA or u, just highlighted the fact ! 😀
 
every software has it's share of vulnerabilities. a successful test by one reviewer does not exactly highlight the complete picture.

Sushubh, did I miss that ? :blink:
 
did u see me pushing ZA after having expressed it 2-3 times that it gives me a complete package including an impressive anti-virus engine? this thread is continuing nicely. do not mess it by tell me that my choice of application is not good enough for my usage.
 
yeh its just matter of choice .. If zonealarm fail few tests it doesnt mean its unusable also the tests over there are very extensive for a firewall most are focused on how trojans send information outside ur pc . But if u should have a trojan infecting ur comp for that situation to occur and which is result of av which u dont use :lol: . But look'n'stop firewall is good i have used it b4r . Me tooo keep on trying different applications and never stay with one 😛 .Btw you should try jetico firewall . It has damn good features and takes just abt 5-6 mb ram at maximum !!
