Software Firewall ?

[LeBo]

Do you run a software firewall behind a DHCP router. And if you do, why? Which firewall do you run?

Free Zonealarm. An excellent product.

I have a inbuilt firewall on my antivirs software Panda. I use this rather than Windows own.
I have also Zone Alarm Pro but I didnt use it. But it is a very good firewall but you must pay for it.

I run zonealarm on my laptop because I use it wirelessly. I also use the Uni wireless whilst in the library so need it there.

I dont run a firewall on my linux machine because it's behind a DCHP router and the router seems fairly good and blocking ports.

I'm currently using the Windows default firewall along with my router. I was using Agnitum Outpost (great firewall), but it conflicts with one of my games for some crazy odd reason.

I was going to try using Eset's Security suite with has the NOD32 AV and a firewall, but it doesn't like my computer and freezes as soon as it's installed. That's how Vista crashed on my computer, unfortunately.

I run ZA Pro and Kerio together with Norton Anti-Virus... because you can never be secure enough on the NET...

Astaro Firewall you can't beat it. And there is a free version.

I have been using this system for over 5 yrs.

Hey Opteron, if you get rid of Norton AV, you'll notice your compy is MUCH faster. Find another AV.

I've tried a bunch of stuff most of which turned out to be resource hogs...

Most notably CA / Etrust anti virus and Norton to seemed to be the least of the evils... What AV are you all using???
