you are right. however, without firewall i'm getting intrusions from other pcs.

i know because when i had norton firewall running it recorded multiple attacks from various ips on a daily basis.

i'm just trying to lock the fkn bitch up hard

When it comes to popups and spyware
change browser - maxthon (IE based) or firefox, or something else

for firewall
i say Kerio 2.1.5 personal firewall > *
old but awesome

shhh let him block port 80 everyone will be better off.

Anth, a firewall isn't going to help u with that. i've got some decent programs at home u could use, cant remember the names now but pm me if u want the details.

i've got a wireless router so i mainly just use the firewall on that to block out attacks and configure it to work with bittorrent etc. u should ask james for advice, hes pretty clued up with this stuff

yeh i know the firewall won't stop spyware. the firewall is for the intrusions. my bad for not clarifying it in the original post.

it's all good. james' knowledge is scary lol.

Get yourself a decent spyware cleaner like Spybot - Search and Destroy or Ad-Aware (or both).

Zonealarm's a pretty good firewall, still bloatware though but easier to use than most other free firewalls.

we have sygate personal firewall, im not sure if it fullfils your requirements but thats what my dad uses.

If you want a dedicated firewall run something like Kerio on it's own machine.

If you want something running on your machine sygate and or zonealarm are both decent for end users.

Kerio is as close as it gets to a hardware firewall on windows.

Smoothwall is the best, for dedicated but it's on Linux.
