A good Firewall needed?

Question

I use for about 7 months the Zone Alarm Pro Firewall but it blocks a lot of HTML or Flashy Banners or I cannot customize it as I desire.

My need, is a good Firewall, (free or to buy it) which can be customized not to block some active embed objects.
And of course, to block by asking the Int-Ext requests....


Please my nerves are collapse, thank you all for your answers ;)

Answer 1

Try the firewall from Comodo.


The only firewall that doesn't leak
Unfortunately, most firewalls leak. But Comodo's Firewall is unique in that it passes all known leak tests to ensure the integrity of data entering and exiting your system. Comodo has put firewall through all kinds of sophisticated tests to ensure its firewall powerful enough to ward off these attacks with default settings. No other firewall has had to work this hard. Take this test yourself.

Answer 2

I've used Agnitum Outpost Firewall for a couple years, it's not free, but it is very highly customizable. It is also a bit resource hungry, you can try it before you buy it, or find a "free" version somewhere, but it won't update for long.
I switched to Comodo Firewall, since it's free now and eats less CPU and memory. I say try Comodo first, it might be what you need.

Answer 3

Hook up a router...it has a good external firewall....next...Download and Install Mozilla Firefox 2.0 and add the extension "NoScript".

NoScript blocks the javascript that creates the banners etc. until you allow that server to load javascript for that site.

Answer 4

I like and use SyGate 5.6 It is simply to setup and use and very user friendly. I have it on 11 of my 13 computers.
