PCTools Firewall Plus latest version
« on: December 02, 2010, 05:52:56 PM »
Dear Forum,

PCTools Firewall Plus version 7 is running flawlessly on a Windows XP SP3 system.

I uninstalled PCTools Firewall Plus version 6.

Rebooted.

Installed PCTools Firewall Plus version 7.0.0.111 successfully.

Hope this helps others!

have you ever tried comodo firewall? It's abit hard but also more complex.

I haven't tried the 7th version but I know that PCtools Firewall is good for it's size.

@ Avastfan1,

Good luck to you on that firewall.  I tested it and was hacked while on a banking site, so I don't recommend it.  Now I use OA on all my machines and it is stealth.  ;D

Myself, I have never tried it on my OS's but a number of people I have worked with have and without exception had horror stories...but don't be swayed if it is working for you. I do know there a many better and stronger FW available :)
