Antivirus & Firewall

[ColT]

Which would you believe is the best Antivirus, and Firewall out?

[Blaze]

I don't know about antivirus, but for firewall, I would use my router to send all connections to another computer other then the one I want to protect.

[ColT]

I'm talking about more of a software Firewall.

Blackice is a good firewall, but I dont know if its the best. Symantec is also a good antivirus.

I quite like ZoneAlarm.  It's made by CheckPoint, which is my favorite corporate firewall.

As for Anti-Virus, I can't help you there. I use ClamAV once in awhile, but only because it's free.

[ColT]

Damn, I hate Norton.

[iago]

I don't like Symantec's antivirus much, I find it hurts performance a lot..

I also don't like TrendMicro's, because I've had some bad experience with them. 

I don't know what is good, though, but I know those two are bad

# First set the incoming chain policy.
iptables -P INPUT DROP
# Make sure there aren't any spurious rules left over.
iptables -F INPUT

# Problem solved.
# Users may want to consider adding rules to permit TCP streams to remain open, but that could be considered a security risk.
# Add rules at your own risk.

i use ZoneAlarm and Norton. im gonna have to reinstall norton cause the auto-protect is broken .

but nevertheless, ZoneAlarm is really great with all the features. hell it even integrates with my Norton. well not really but it does in a very weird way.

btw:why are you making this topic everywhere?

[ColT]

Different people, and different opinions.

Before my hdd died, I used Avast Anti-Virus and I think Kaspersky for a firewall.

Norton's Anti-Virus & ZoneAlarm

Kaspersky is a resource whore if I ever saw one.

[hismajesty]

I never noticed.

Haha, I hadn't thought of that one.  Good point!
