• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Firewall/ Scecurity

I need advise on a Firewall/security program. I have AVG 2011 (Paid Version) now and it's too much. I can't install programs like Flight 1 because it wont allow a connection.
What is your favorite program? I would like something a little less complicated.that works.
Thanks
 
I'm using Kaspersky Internet Security. It has an inbuilt firewall (I've also got a router firewall) that works well.
 
I have a wi-fi router that a friend was going to trash. Turned off the wi-fi portion and have it hard wired to the computer(s). Has a hardware firewall, but I still have the one in Windows turned on. Anti-virus is Avira free. Haven't had any problems of some software trying to protect me from myself, like blocking any Flight1 reinstalls.
 
I don't know ...........
I had a router on this one but we had a T-storm and I unplugged the 10/100 cable from the computer and about 5 minutes later I heard a pop ........
It got the router .......... and comcast's modem.
Looking now at Win 7 and a new install ..........:crybaby:
