Moderators rridgely Posted August 23, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2006 Firefox Etrust ezantivirus netveda firewall ewido spyware blaster I don't like running real time antispyware on my machine and didn't use to like running a firewall(since I got my router.). But since I started using netveda it hasn't bothered me once since I installed it. The sandboxie idea is neat but it annoyed me. I guess if I knew I was going to a virus infested site I would fire it up but I couldn't run that all the time. It just got in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators rridgely Posted August 23, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2006 If I had to choose a security suite that would be the one I would get. Pest Patrol has gotten a lot better then it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfenech Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 how about zone alarm? its all that ive really tried but i like it. ZA was the first one I used years ago. It had a conflict with some other program, so I replaced it with Sygate. (The program was more important than keeping ZA.) While Sygate was fine while it lasted, I expect there are worthwhile replacements by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted August 23, 2006 Moderators Share Posted August 23, 2006 The last time I tried Jetico which was almost a year ago I wasn't too impressed, but hey they may have updated it. If you can use ZoneAlarm without any problems surfacing it's a good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humpty Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 Same here. Tried Jetico a while back and it was just too hard to configure (or I was too lazy) but I have read that once it is done it is one of the best. You may want to read through the thread below which has near on 400 posts. Jetico making me crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfenech Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Thanks humpty. I've been following the 'other firewalls' forum on Wilders for a few days now, trying to get a feel for what I want. I might just go for the Jetico 2.0 beta instead of the current version, but I'm still in 'research' mode right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a good laugh when I remembered that you trademarked good ol' common sense a while back. At least At least that explains why I don't have it and probably never will . That was really funny.
