Re: *Beware!!!!*
 

Firewalls can be good for the most part, but they really are bad when you uninstall them.

yea i get alot of problems with norton firewall... so i dont use it anymore. I use either zonealarm or mcaffee

Re: *Beware!!!!*
 

i would use macafee i think its better

Re: *Beware!!!!*
 

Mcaffe deceives you by giving you so many things on "Mcaffe firewalls are superior!" and crap like that. What I like about norton, you can set it up and it will never have a pop up about a security alert ever again. There are no advertising like Mcaffe does. They do that to retain their customers. Norton may be expensive, but they've got an overwhelming number of features, and don't advertise, and overall is a great firewall/anti-virus combo. I've got a router and a software firewall.

Re: *Beware!!!!*
 

My recommendation would be to not run any of that software firewall crap. Why do you need something taking up precious memory and processor resources to lower your AA:O FPSs?

Rather, you should be using a router with Network Address Translation (NAT), which--in it's design--acts as a hardware firewall.

Looks like my work is done here...

Re: *Beware!!!!*
 

I have a hardware firewall, but for security issues I also run a software firewall. I have 1GB of ram and lots of virtual memory and even when both are running, I have about 87% of resources left.
