| My fav. firewalls are Zone Alarm, even if sometime is annoying and Outpost, this is the better. |

The windows firewall! 
The hells no!
Favorite? Well I do like Zone Alarm Security Suite since it pretty much locks everything by default! And since I'm a paranoid freek, it's a great tool! Tho' I don't think I can call it "my favorite"!
But if you're looking for free, legit firewall, I say you use Comodo! |

lol @ zone alarm... It's such crap.

I don't even know why people bother with firewalls... I still think that (for the most part) they're way overrated. |

@first linky(can't be bothered to read the second) haha: Go warezed hacked registration! *
Anyway, like I always say, if you know your way around computers, you don't need a firewall!(wait, when did I start to "always say" that?  )
*not that I'm using something like that... I'm not even using ZASS atm! |

Trend Micro Internet Security does a fine job at pissing you off if you set the security high enough to have to click 50 prompts EVERY time you want to play a game online
i turn off most of the prompts and manually work the firewall ;P |

You're behind on OLD tech, Abyss.
| History of the internet wrote: | | "Firewalls are barriers between 'us' and 'them' for arbitrary values of 'them.'" The first network firewalls appeared in the late 1980s and were routers used to separate a network into smaller LANs ....... |
You're some 20 years behind it seems.
Some ol'history , read it, and learn.

Just wait t'll you're on Vista, if you're ever on a guest account somewhere with that fuc**ng 'Vista defender' enabled, you can't fart or it pops up. This defender is pure hell. |

I love how Microsoft always finds ways to punish the innocent. I'm sure people are already crafting ways to create viruses to do an automated "allow" click for their worms. lol. |

Isn't that what they use with genetically modified corn to reduce the amount of non-popped ones in the bag? |
