I gave up on ZA a long time ago. Depending on your Operating system,
the firewall in Windows v7 and up, does a good job and is less problematic than any other.

Hi Bob. thanks foro your reply , and sorry for me replying so late. I have replaced a fresh image with macrium reflect and running my old combo again: comodo firewall and avast. no more problems to report. I do not like windows firewall , because it feels like a placebo to me ( just like windows defender ;) ) I love comodo's sandbox and the way you can tweak comodo......anyways thanks! :)

To each their own. I'm happy with the windows firewall because it does it's job without needing much help.

Webroot / Avira / F-Secure / TrendMicro all think win firewall is good eough as all have removed firewall from there programs and just added some network scanner feature that work with win firewall
