Ashampoo Firewalls - Does anyone know about them ?

Question

I have just downloaded - Ashampoo Firewall.

Answer 1

in my opinion, the best firewall you can use is zone alarm free(www.zone labs.com) it can be a little daunting at first, but stick with it and follow through with the tutorials as it suggests.

once you are used to it, it is fantastic! it does all that a firewall is required to do, you control both inbound and outbound connections, which gives you control over which application doeswhat.

The failsafe way to start is by disallowing everything access, and work up from there, as not all programs require access but still ask for it, best to start with basics. i.e browser,windoze updates(if you use it that way) email ect.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The reviews on one site are not that good.
