Desktop Firewall

['chris']

hi everyone

what do you think about Omniquad Personal Firewall ?

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Firewall/Omniquad-Personal-Firewall.shtml

this version above should be for free.

I was using ZoneAlarm Pro but I'm not happy with
it wasn't running stable and my WIN2000 SP4 was often hanging...

what kind of experience do you have with Omniquad Personal Firewall ?
could you recommend it ?

kind regards
chris

Chris,

Zone Akarm is easy, ZoneAlarm is easy to use but takes up too much resources. To avoid any performance problem, better I would suggest to go for ZoneAlarm SecuritySuite 5.5.062 and BitDefender Pro Plus 8.0.

But if we compare Outpost Pro 2.5, Omniquad and ZOneAlarm, I outpost Pro 2.5 is good, I use this for the one year and I found it uses very less system resources.

Hi Chris,

You can install the IDS(Intrusion Detection System) and the best IDS is BlackICE, to know the difference between IDS and Firewall,

I know what IDS is, but I'm just looking for a desktop firewall solution,
if possible as freeware or opensource.

I hate ZoneAlarm.
I think, it needs a lot of performance.

and Omniquad Personal Firewall

http://www.softpedia.com/get/Security/Firewall/Omniquad-Personal-Firewall.shtml

should be for free, isn't it ?

only must pay for a PRO version.

Chris;
No problems with other web sites!
Maybe it is temporary, if the url is correct. Have you tried it?
