Avast Internet Suite - Firewall

A question to the members:
The firewall incorporated in the internet suite…is it equal to windows 7 firewall or better?
Can a member please give me some insight on this, it is much appreciated. :slight_smile:

Well, the avast! FW works well together with the W7 FW…!! :wink:

Hi Asyn:
Your comment that W7 works well together has me puzzled, I am under the impression running 2 firewalls at the same time causes conflict? However,if both run good together that is a plus. Let me ask you this from your experience does Avast Firewall exceed performance wise that of W7??

Yes .Avast Firewall is better than Windows Firewall

  1. Well, usually it would be a problem. But the avast! FW was developed to run together with the W7 FW…!! :slight_smile:
  2. It sure is…!!
  3. As you can run them together, it’s hard to answer. :wink:

What do you think of as “performance”?

There are some areas Win FW can do things Avast! FW can’t, see this post for such an example>>http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=90141.0

To break it down really basic…Avast! FW is a quiet FW, focused on ease of use for an everyday user, meant for you to be able to more or less “set it and forget it”. If you are one of those who like a very flexible FW with which to tweak, micro-manage and organize your network connections, Avast! FW might leave you wanting.

Appreciate everyone’s insight on the firewall. Great site for help thanks again ;D

You’re welcome…!

Avast firewall is better! Pair it with Process Hacker v2.5 (freeware) so you will have chance to terminate a connection. Currently the Avast firewall cannot do that. Other than that it’s quite nice really.
