Firewall recommendations
 
#5
Sofaspud Wrote:Still, though, if you're behind a router -- one that does NAT -- then there's no need for a firewall to be running on your machine.  If you're talking a desktop that isn't going to be connecting to J. Random Access Point, then don't bother with -any- firewall. AV and anti-spyware, sure. Firewall, no need.

I disagree, multilayered defenses are better, and more importantly many of the better firewalls (like zonealarm) give you the option of stopping outgoing traffic.

ZoneAlarm is the best windows firewall I have used, and for home use it is the one I would recomend without hesitation. However I have also not used windows in almost 8 years, so things might have changed.
E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
