	I need a new firewall.... suggestions? Also question for anyone who has Zone Alarm Inflate your Upload Space

Using zone alarm, getting sick of it....

Preferably something free, but if its great I'll pay, any recomendations?


Zone alarm always causes slow downs with online games for me-sick of it.

Edit: Any chance anyone here found a solution to that?

I disagree. ZoneAlarm catches more intrustions (like, 4 times more at least) than PFW ever did.

Mind you I was using V2 of PFW (Coulnd't get 3 to work).

Half the games I play online, it slows down when I play online. If I disable it, the game play instantly speeds up-but I cant leave my comp on with no fire wall....

Thanks Vesayen. I was planning on playing a few online games when my faster system is built - but you've just raised this issue, so here's my thinking;-

1) I intend to have a bootable HD that's games only. Minimal if any firewall, together with some scrubbing and virus checker utils plus my games.

2) A second HD, which has my documents, WP and other non-games items.

So depending on what I'm doing I've essentially got 2 separate systems.

Any thoughts/comments on that solution?

Apart from the obvious "but it needs 2 hard disks".

I haven't had any trouble with Zone Alarm playing games like Neverwinter Nights. That's really the only online game I play.

When I tried to use Zonealarm it crashed half the programs on my computer, including the shut-down procedure. Couldn't get rid of it fast enough.

I use Zone Alarm, no problems.

	Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

ZoneAlarm worked fine until I noticed that it corrupts data for certain programs, such as dc++. I switched to Sygate Personal Firewall, which I haven't yet gotten any problems with.

hi ,

what games are you playing , .....

do you have the pro or free version , ....

it should not do that , well there is a first time for everything , .....

expect to pay , why , simple a car alarm costs also money , .....

the free zonealarm is not bad , but only as adition to lets say www.esafe.com or www.esafedesktop.com , trow in the free script and bug prison from www.finjan.com and you are save as in a tank , .....

need more info , try this ; http://grc.com

more info , ask for it

have a great weekend

I have Zone Alarm Pro, I haven't noticed any problems.

It stalled Battlenet on me until I took a close look at precisely what it was blocking, and unblocked it.

Norton Firewall is tops, IMHO.
