But the problem lies that its not in everyone's reach, even pirated one. As we don't know where to get it from but believe me free ones are very good also like "Comodo" which you can download from the link given

Answer 2

Well, it depends on who you ask. I use Sunbelt-Kerio Firewall myself. Earlier this year, there was an extensive study of many popular free and commercial firewalls conducted by TechWorld.com. There findings were unexpected. It seems that some free firewall were better at protecting than some commercial firewalls. According to the studies, Comodo Firewall and Jetico Firewall were among the best in both groups. Both are free. PC Magazine ran similar tests and conclude that Comodo Firewall provided the best protection. You can read TechWorld's article for more details:

"Free firewalls outclass paid-for ones, test reveals" -- written by John Dunn, techworld.com (http://www.arnnet.com.au/index.php?id=159719021)


"In third and fourth place were ZoneAlarm Pro 6.5, Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007, and both of which are charged for and achieved a "very good" rating. Moving down the scoring, only three other products emerged as "good", with the remaining 14 scoring as "poor", "very poor" or as having no ability to resist the tests whatsoever. This included prominent products from Kaspersky, Symantec, McAfee, and CA...[more].

Answer 3

An excellent free firewall is Comodo Personal Firewall. It can pass firewall "leak tests" that even a lot of the "paid-for" firewalls cannot pass.

And Comodo has a great support forum. Where the CEO / President of the company might even himself answer your question! Check it out at:

Answer 4

A well configured hardware firewall is your main defense. If you are good at setting up your own software firewall, then I would try Comodo out. I use that with my hardware firewall and it's fantastic. Comodo on it's own passed all of my leaktest's, including incomming trojan's. It can even configure itself on "learning mode".

Give it a try, it's free.

Answer 5

I use McAfee, and I think it does a good job, but not in the AntiVirus aspect.
