sapiens74 0 Posted August 22, 2003 I prefer zone alarm, cause its less resourve intensive. Share this post Link to post
adamvjackson 0 Posted August 23, 2003 Have you tried Sygate Personal Firewall? It's free, and seems to be more configurable and have better logging than both McAfee and ZA. Share this post Link to post
Mr.Guvernment 0 Posted August 27, 2003 u get what you pay for Mcafee normally cost money - and frankly - unless you have an old system - the resources it uses should not be noticable. Share this post Link to post
Copernicus 0 Posted September 2, 2003 Zonealarm Pro is what I use and it works quite well. It can block pop-up's and can be put into stealth mode. The only other firewall I like is Sygate personal but it's nearly simular to Zonealarm Pro 4.0. Share this post Link to post

I havn't heard the best things about MacAfee AV but I havn't heard anything about the firewall. I say put MacAfee on for a couple of weeks and decide for yourself. Share this post Link to post

I have had extremely good luck with McAfee AV myself for quite a while, but I don't think I would care for their firewall. Then again, I don't like any personal firewalls and use major firewalls for my whole network. Share this post Link to post
