Does anyone know when Avast Firewall is expected?
because I can’t wait 
Time to get rid of anoying ZoneAlarm :
avast! is an AV program there is no Firewall expected.
I personally linke ZA but, thats my opinion
Perhaps… who knows the future… 8)
I have no proof, but I strongly believe they are working very, very hard to release something like that… this silence from Alwil just kills me ;D Right Alwil ?

If they are, I hope it doesn’t have any conflicts with WebShield. ;D ;D ;D
Why don’t you try microsofts own firewall that does a exellent job
Microsoft’s Firewall is only half a Firewall. It only protects you from incoming traffic but does nothing
to guard your outgoing information.
I personally prefer to keep my sensitive information on my computer and not share it others. ;D
Use ZAPro v6 and you can bin prevxx as well, but keep spywareblaster.
If you’re a pro Windows XP Firewall does the job just fine.
Are you casting nasturtiums on my character 8) 8)
If people want a infected system or not is their choice, but they do need to take the responsibility towards others to prevent infections spreading further. So using the XP firewall shouldn’t be an option to anyone.

In XP PRO does the Win Firewall protect in both directions? ???
Nope, it only protects inbound.
That’s what I thought.
And outbound to be precise. But limited to applications that act as server (usually backdoors)
I hope one day there is an avast! firewall.
I am a great fan of Sygate firewall. However I am upgrading my home network soon to not only several servers but one being Smoothwall. An excellent firewall and open source so plenty of hacks to add extra functionality and add-ons.
DickinsMCF: im not an expert on unix firewalls, but they’re not so complex as windows ones - i’d say, most unix guys use iptables, but it’s not enough… sygate fw seems to be for low-level users (who else can study a packet header he’s about to approve?) and quite little chaotic in settings+rules…
I recommend and use Kerio firewall it does the job fine and has no issues with webshield ;D
Although I never tried Kerio yet, I believe it’s a wonderful firewall to try out. But normally I would suggest Zone Alarm for those who wants to start off easy.
