Hello everyone.
I was wondering whether you could help me choose a firewall that plays well together with Avast Free. I run a 64-bit Windows 7.
Thank you very much,
Usnuli
There’s quite a few that work fine with avast but you’ll need to test to see which are more preferred for your liking
Outpost Pro
Privatefirewall
Comodo
Online Armor
Hello Unsuli.
In the Free version you don’t get any Firewall.
So I recommend this firewall to use with Avast! FREE: Online Armor
It’s very good and stable, and easy to use!

Thank you both for your very quick replies and suggestions.
I used to use avast free with privatefirewall two years ago, but it got complicated whenever there was an update for privatefirewall - my entire system would completely freeze, so in the end I decided not to use a firewall at all.
Now I’ve got a brand new laptop, and I’ve decided to harden up avast free with a firewall that has got HIPS functionality.
I am still scared of trying out privatefirewall, so I might try online armor first and keep in mind comodo.
Thank you so much,
Usnuli
