I used to use a firewall, the Sygate Firewall when I had XP. But now I have Vista and it seems that the Sygate firewall isn't compatible with Vista. I was so in love with that firewall that I don't feel like keeping any firewall now...

I use Kaspersky Internet security and this software will look after my firewall as well. I do not use Windows Xp firewall because after installing above software automatically that software has become default firewall checker.. I am happy with my pc security..

I use PC Tools Firewall Plus 2.0. I've used this software on a number of home user client machines and find it a simple to manage, effective solution. One of it's "selling" points that is becoming more important is that it is fully Vista compatible and integrates with Windows Security Center flawlessly. The companion antivirus solution has "issues" with the vista startup protection but i'm sure if this is resolved in the next release it will be equally as effective.

hello KDzuba, yeah i use a firewall for my pc.its not the windows xp firewall but its called zone alarm security suite that i use which comes in a package of antivirus,antispyware and firewall.i also comes as a single firewall software without the antivirus and antispyware in it called zone alarm firewall and that is a freeware.you can try it out. and i always turn it on.i have never felt the urge to turn it off,even at times of downloading anything.but rather i have turned off the windows firewall.because its not recommended to keep two firewalls at a time as with antivirus programs.

Yeah I use firewall is very handy and it protects my computer against worms or other dangerous viruses. It protects and whe I surf on the internet doesn't let anything dangerous come into my computer. I was using antivirus firewalls like kaspersky. Now I am using Avast Antivirus it has a great firewall to.

I use the windows XP firewall, because I don't know any other good firewalls. But I never turn it off!

I do use firewall,and i have the one from McAfee.( Whole package of Internet Security )...never turn it off. I think it's kind of dangerous these days to turn it off and don't wanna take any chance by doing it so. Just my opinion, if you do have activity on the internet that has something to do with money, my suggestion don't turn it off.

The firewall I use is Comodo Firewall. Its pretty good and blocks out alot of things I never want or have to deal with. I would recommend it because its free and it blocks much better than the XP one.
