Post by: luerdelphic on January 19, 2007, 12:10:02 PM: Hello, i am a Chinese boy and I know Avast! from the internet when I am using a Vista RC!, and then I download a Avast！

Yes, avast! is a antivirus program so you still need a firewall!

I am using Comodo Firewall...it's a great firewall, and it's free :)

Here is a link about Comodo Firewall in Chinese, that could be interesting for you -> http://forums.comodo.com/index.php/topic,2628.0.html

Edit: I post the link to Comodo in Chinese.

Post by: cclkfc on January 20, 2007, 08:52:12 AM: I love Avast too! I have been using Avast for a year now and I love it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a firewall that works with Avast except for Windows Firewall found in XP. I haven't tried COMODO yet. I hope it works. ;D

Post by: cclkfc on January 20, 2007, 09:42:57 AM: Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have to stick with Windows Firewall. I just tried comodo and it doesn't work well for me. Anytime I go anywhere on the internet, even here, it pops up and I have to click allow. It wouldn't let me use windows update at all. It looks I have to delete comodo and keep searching for another firewall. I wish Avast had a firewall.

Comodo, Kerio, ZoneAlarm, Jetico, Sygate, Outpost... there are a lot of them that works with avast.

Make sure that your configuration for COMODO Firewal are good, I have some trouble too when I first installed it but now it works without problems.

The windows firewall should'nt even be allowed to be called a firewall as it only blocks outgoing traffic, mean it does not prevent hackers .

I guess he either hasn't checked the answer to his other topic or is ignoring the hint, hopefully it wil be he hasn't checked the other topic.
