I think Avast should make Avast! Firewall and Anti-spyware software..It would be really great. What do you guys think?
-
Do you even have to ask :) But I think that many of these propositions have been mentioned already by others.
-
I think the same.
Firewall as a standalone (or able to integrate into avast) but not a suite.
Antispyware as a module of avast antivirus.

couldn't agree more ;) ;D

Hope Alwil listen us...

Sorry to disagree. ???
I already have an excellent Firewall and so do most of us.
I chose avast! because I didn't have a great Anti Virus program.
I would much rather see Alwil continue improving avast! ( Rootkit detection for one.)
Just my 2 cents worth. :)

No need to be sorry...

Well... as far I know it's an old plan of Alwil team the development of such application... just my wish avast does not become a suite but the firewall stays as a standalone application... I think they're not so far of it...

The antispyware module will improve avast anti-malware features... I think it's a good improvement.
-
Yes, I hope the ALWL will add an antispyware component as a module (provider) ::) :P

Bob uses ZoneAlarm as far I know.
Other very good firewalls (free) are Comodo and PC Tools as well.

The correct statement is "Bob used to use ZoneAlarm"
Bob now uses PC Tools Firewall Plus (http://www.pctools.com/firewall/) :)

Living and learning... Did you use Comodo in the past? Can you compare it with PC Tools one?

Sorry Tech I never had anything except troubles with Comodo even if it worked fine for most others.

I would like to see both an avast anti-spyware as well as an avast firewall. But, I would want them both to be separate applications/programs. Otherwise, a suite of programs is forming and those are always a compromise instead of what is best.

Well... it's not a waste of time, but a security question...
If you want an automated system that open/close the door of your house, so go ahead, don't waste time asking: "Who is there?"...
-
haha...you are right... ;D
-
but i means i need a fire wall that will automatic block harmful things but not asking me allow or not allow even i m access internet with internet explorer..
-
Then You need a Filseclab Personal Firewall Professional Edition from http://www.filseclab.com/eng/products/firewall.htm (http://www.filseclab.com/eng/products/firewall.htm), but IMHO it's not a good choice, :-[ I rather agree with Tech in this situation ::)
-
thank...look like allow and not allow is better than i thought.....

You can use automatic mode in Comodo.
But you can use the 'lowest' level ("Very Low") of boring questions of Comodo and you'll be fine.
-
thank....comodo fire wall is a free ware?
::)
-
my situation only allow me to use freeware...even my avast also home edition.....do u have any suggestion on firewall,antspyware that are free ware but as good as the pay one....?example...spyware doctor ...free ware can only detect but cant remove...please give me some link of free ware that as good as pay one...(if they are available :-\)
-
Comodo firewall is free ware as is PC Tools Firewall.
If you haven't already got this software (freeware), download, install, update and periodically run them, they are all freeware.
1. AVG anti-spyware (formerly Ewido) (http://www.ewido.net/en/download/) you can use the trial version for 30 days then it reverts to free version with no resident protection. Or SUPERantispyware (http://www.superantispyware.com) Or Spyware Terminator (http://www.spywareterminator.com/)
2. Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition (http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/Ad-Aware/adaware.html)
3. Spybot Search and Destroy (http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?lang=en&page=download)
4. Spywareblaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html) Don't install this until you are clean.

thanks...david u help me a lot...

Your welcome.

is there any firewall that wont asking you question ( allow or not allow )i really don like this it just wasting time.....
the firewalls have a learning system to know which application is trustful and which is not..i dont think that there is an effective firewall without learning system...i have used pc-cillin internet security 2007 and its firewall wasnt asking me at all...but if u see this http://www.matousec.com/projects/windows-personal-firewall-analysis/leak-tests-results.php#firewalls-ratings u will understand that trendmicro isnt an effective firewall...jsut my thought..

any reason pctools firewall plus free isn't on the Firewalls' ratings ??? ::)
