I wish I had a dollar for every time I had this Q & A with a client.
Q: Do you have a working firewall on the computer? (ME)
A: Oh I have one that came with the computer...windows firewall (CLIENT)
Then I have to try and convince them that WF isn't a real firewall and that they really need some kind of 3rd party firewall in place.
A lot of the free antivirus programs like AVAST & AVG, are great at what they do as far as AV, but the free versions don't have a firewall....and its just about damn near critical to have one if you are even remotely serious about making sure your computer is secure.
That is why I recommend Zone Alarm Free Firewall + AV
It does a great job and doesn't have any problem running along side any of the other utilities except MSE on install. The trick around that is just to uninstall MSE, install ZoneAlarm, and then reinstall MSE and then there is no problem.
