Hi pplz!

I have Win XP Home SP2 with the built-in firewall on, i think. Now I've heard, that this one would be really bad... Sad

Which is a good firewall then?
Thanks!

Yeah, in fact, the internal windows xp firewall only controls inbound connections, but that is not all, that should be controled. This topic is also a debatable one, because many users state, that a router should be protection enough. Personally i use both. I recommend you a security suite like G-Data oder Bitdefender. Norton is still not bad.

I think, that the ZoneAlarm Firewall is good. You can get it in a free version.

If you ask me about Internet-Securitys, the Kaspersky Internet-Security is the best.

Hi zarustra,

there still is a free version, hidden well. Follow the link in our security tips at "download software":

Alternatively you could try Kerios Firewall. I haven't tested it yet, however, it is said to be a good product.

The free version runs like the commercial one for the first 30 days, after that with limited (but sufficient) features.
