Which Are The Good Firewall Application?

Recommended Posts

One of the best firewalls for Windows is ZoneAlarm. There are free and professional editions. The free edition is very good, and you don't have to take my word for it. Do a Google search and you'll find it gets good reviews and is very popular. It's had over 45 million downloads and is highly rated on Cnet.

 

Another good security resource I'd recommend is the Steve Gibson web site. This site is an absolute must visit web site for all users of Windows who are concerned about security. The site is a treasure trove of advice and helpful utilities for improving the security of your Windows computer. This highly educational site walks you through the essential security risks, loop holes and potential data leaks of your computer. Best of all, the tests, advice and most of the software are free.

 

One of the most important utilities is the firewall testing service called ShieldsUp (at the top of the home page click the Services tab). This comprehensive set of tests will let you know how well your firewall is working, and if it is protecting you as well as it should. Again ZoneAlarm has scored well in a batch of sample test carried out by Steve Gibson. The site also suggests testing how well your firewall handles outgoing connections from your computer. You can do this by downloading a small piece of test software from the web site called Leak Test (from the home page click Freeware, Security, Leak Test).

There are lots of firewall in the web. I recommend you to use Comodo. I use it since last year, It works fine. It has power of block threats too. You can block request you don't know (i.e. unwanted application through viruses). See full feature in website Comodo.

As Xpress said Ashampoo firewall free edition is also good for use.
