I’m fine with my actual configuration but some say the Rising Firewall is worth trying (no HIPS). It is now free version (same as paid version) on their global world site. ;D Only problem for me:it’s chinese, fear of spywares etc… 
Actually, the download link is: http://www.rising-global.com/products/rising-pc-doctor.html
Anybody has tried it? :-X
No chance, there AV was crap so id say that there firewall is too ;D
For me, even free is too high a price.
Haven’t you ???
True words 
I have tried using Rising Firewall and avast. There is no problem with these two at the moment
??? :o : need i say more ;D
I don’t trust Chinese software because they loved saying hello inside you’re PC without you’re consent permission
No, Actually my computer runs fine but out of curiosity I was wondering if the rising FW (without HIPS for those who wants no HIPS) which has an excellent rating on Wilder’s forum runs fine with Avast. Also I was worried about software coming out of China which has a politic of no-tollerance against people going on in Internet and freedom as well as possibility of being spyied upon as a foreigner 
So we should test it…??? :-\
Is that true? :o
Not wanting to be funny!!!
There always be people sympathetic to China’s ideals :
No proofs, only presumptions. Urban Legends??? 8)
Yes, at least sometimes.
Oh well…I don’t like it >:(
You’re not alone…
Just do not blame the company. It is governmental policy that makes it that way, if the software developer is within China, they have to play along with this, whether they like it or not. I still wont think twice about trying it, just saying, its not the developers fault.
Anyhow, if ever, I’d rather give a try to the Rising Free FW which has good ratings. The AV is also good but for Chinese viruses, it seems to be weak for Western viruses and malware, at least that’s what I read in Wilder’s forum.
