Firewall for win 7

[Adenoid Hynkel]

I did use netlimiter and sunbelt on vista and xp.

What to use on win7? None of the above work.

Any recommendations?

What's the matter with the default Windows Firewall?

Never trust MS with anything to do with security.

I tried Comodo on 64bit Win7 this morning and it did not work although all reports indicate it works.

Nothing i guess. Its ment to be for the basic user. Its silent. I need something that pops up to ask me, allow, deny. And I like to track what app has used how much etc etc..

Oh, im running win7 64bit.

...the mystery is that it might be linux trying to look like Windows 7.

Eset Smart Sec 4 seems to work. The price also seems ok. Anyone used eset before?

Im using pcTools, seems pretty good. Very easy to use, blocking applications/ports is simple, nice GUI. I like the community updates aswell and its free

never had a problem with the basic Windows Firewall. If it ain't broke... don't try to fix it.

Gary, the thing is windows firewall doesnt do anything? Nearly all the viruses/hackers/trojans whatever, go through windows firewall no problems... because its that easy to break through.
