Need an advise..
« on: August 07, 2010, 01:56:06 PM »
Hi everyone,

From few days i hv been woundering that should i need to updrade avast free to AIS. from few months i hv been actively doing e-banking, besides surrfing the web randomly.

from my understanding hacking can be protected through a firewall. AIS has a firewall and avast free dont. i m using Windows 7 firewall. i heard that windows 7 firewall is petty good. but the problem is i dont know how to use it manually. its in default mode and untill now it did not asked me anything like "allow" or "deny". Should i use other free firewall like comodo.

AIS has other function like Script shield and antispam. i dont need those. i mainly use firefox with noscript ( initially noscript was a bit irritating but i can use it quite well now and no problem ;D). and i use gmail and till now i dont hv a single spam in  my inbox.

Now the main question should i upgrade to AIS to be more protected.


waiting for ur kind reply....


with regards
Gautam

Well, you can achieve the firewall protection with Comodo like you've said, for free.

In my personal opinion, you can use, in order, one of these:

Comodo
Online Armour
PCTools
Outpost Firewall Free
ZoneAlarm
The best things in life are free.
