Hm. Question.

[conuly]

Are some firewalls better than others? What's the best free one? I use two different anti-virus programs (not at the same time). Is it wise to also have two firewalls running, or is that just overkill? Why am I posting in the middle of the night, again?

I used to use ZoneAlarm until I found out about a quirk it had that completely freaked me out. Apparently you have to remove all the rules you created before uninstalling it, or you won't be able to connect to the internet again at all. *shudders* They might have fixed that by now, though.

Personally I use Outpost Firewall right now and have been pretty happy with it. Every now and then it glitches and also starts blocking everything, but simply turning it off and on again fixes that.
