Defensewall personal firewall

Think based on OP's question I would say Private Firewall just for the previously mentioned facts that it is light and stable.Best of all it's free with good support! #17 I have been a long time Outpost Firewall Pro user and have grown accustomed to it on every PC i own. #18 Littlebits I have a question?and what do you think of DefenseWall Personal Firewall with Antivirus EsetNOD32 their cooperation?: ( DefenseWall is different than most other firewalls it is like having Sanboxie or BufferZone Pro with a network firewall.DefenseWall is the first sandboxing-style personal firewall, it is a good product if you learn how to use it correctly.For myself is is not worth messing with since I don't need that kind of protection and if I did need it, I would use a free product instead. If you already use your web applications sandboxed with Sandboxie then DefenseWall is not needed. Eset NOD32 is probably the best paid AV solution to buy, if you don't want to use free AV's. For myself I never buy security products since free product do excellent keeping my system protected along with my own actions. If you do want to buy, first give the trial version a full test run to make sure you like the products and they have no conflicts. You don't want to end up buying products that are not compatible. Enjoy!! #19 Thank you for all of your responses. I'll load PrivateFirewall for now on my wife's PC and I'll replace it with Online Armor it it acts up.Than you again. #20 If you should encounter issues with PrivateFirewall, please shoot an email to their customer support. You'll never find a quicker response and attempt to put your issue right. Greg and company take their product very seriously and while not perfect they do make every effort to address issues and new features when they can.

#2 I use, or have used, Online Armor (free) and Privatefirewall. Both are excellent programs that will get the job done. #3 Thanks very much, aztony. I appreciate your response. #4 Also, I use Windows XP SP3 32bit, Eset NOD32, NoVirusThanks EXE Radar Pro, Hitman Pro. Should I use the system firewall or should I consider other firewall software?All responses will be appreciated. Last edited by a moderator: Dec 13, 2013 #5 How much Ram does your PC have, please? This will help for Windows XP users? #8 Comodo is very good but you can have a problem because it can slow down the websitesin my opinion, Private Firewall is the best firewall Last edited by a moderator: Dec 13, 2013 #9 I've used them all though Outpost, once removed, has never successfully run on my system again.Of the group mentioned, I prefer and continue to use Online Armor (Premium). To me it's the most intuitive to use and most effective out of the box.If it works without issues on your machine, Online Armor is the one I would recommend. #10 Installed Outpost, uninstalled it after a few hours I didn't like it. Used Comodo Firewall and PrivateFirewall. Liked PrivateFirewall... #11 Out of the three mentioned, I would agree that Privatefirewall would be the better choice. It is free, lite and doesn't cause the issues that is related to the others. But if you already have a router with a firewall, it would be recommended to configure it to protect your complete network.Router firewalls do a much better job keeping your network protected, if configured correctly you will not need to use another software based firewall besides Windows Firewall. Only download files from safe sources and utilize UAC and then you will not need advanced security like HIPS features.Thanks. #12 I like PrivateFirewall as well, and have had great support from their development team through many contacts with Greg Salvato over a period of a couple of years.That said, PF is not without its quirks and issues. However, Greg and staff are usually pretty quick to address them if they can (as well as incorporating new features). #13 Littlebits completely agree with you.thanks Ink Administrator #14 I would too choose Private Firewall. It's small, light and free without any bloat or risk of your (SolidWorks) files going missing.That would be my main concern with Comodo Firewall, it's Auto-Sandbox (included with the Firewall) relies on it's own (TVL) Trusted Vendors List, and you can't be sure if all SolidWorks components are listed on it.@Littlebits They're using Windows XP, no UAC available.Also you may want to contact SolidWorks about Antivirus/Firewall compatibility, their current lists are limited: Last edited: Dec 13, 2013 #15 Littlebits I have a question?and what do you think of DefenseWall Personal Firewall with Antivirus EsetNOD32 their cooperation?: ( #16 I think OA is an excellent firewall.I use it on Win 7 as part of EISOutpost is also good but was very buggy when I tried it in Win 8I

One click shorter than alternative priviledge log in. Benefit of GW/DW is that they have a stronger than LUA containment (also protect HKU registry keys for instance). Hello ssj100,Even though I am not the developer of DefenseWall(DW), I take personal offense to your claim that it is not secure. Please take a look at the following link below. you have read and completely understand DW's online help file which can be found at the link below, DW's strengths and limitations(will be addressed in the future with the addition of an outbound firewall for "untrusted" applications/processes), have used DW for at least 30-days, have been actively testing malware samples for a year or more to attempt to bypass DW or have been providing constructive input to Ilya on how to improve DW for a year or more, I am asking that you please refrain from making such false accusations.Keep in mind that policy restriction sandboxes such as DW block potential threats "mostly" silently. Ultimately, what one chooses for security comes down to "different strokes for different folks". To that end, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.Peace & Gratitude,CogitoErgoSum Last edited: Apr 15, 2009 What exactly do you consider a large sum of money, I don't know what country you live in but DW is only £21 and yearly updates are only £7.75, for what you get I would have thought that most people would consider that a bargain, I certainly do.

Using DefenseWall Personal Firewall for several months now, it's works fine, no problemo, but just wondering if there's any or... and what additions/changes on this protection program could be put into to make it more "solid" and updated in protecting our system from infections while maintaining its non-annoying features and being lightweight in resources. Just curious, when should be the release of new updates of this program comes out. It's still in version 3.09. I'm waiting for essential icon file artwork. Then I'm going to publish 3.10 beta build for user's tests. Not sure if this feature was still needed or not. But just for curiousity sake. Did it already had a Self-Defense feature, just like an antivirus program so that it can't be disabled by any malwares or trojans? There is no self-defense, it's totally based on untrusted process isolation. Option to add trusted vendors to the allowed install list (is now an internal list). Not an inprovement on defense but useability personalisation. It's already present. Find defensewall_whitelist.txt file, it's all there. add 64 bit support That seems to be in the planning.
