Re: Re: Re: PC Firewall Choices

[Nancy Kramer <nekramer () mindtheater net>]

I admit I know nothing about firewalls but with ZA I have had to shut it 
down sometimes to go onto the internet.  I have no idea why.  I just can't 
get on and when I shut it down I can.

Never had the problem with Kaspersky.  I do know that configuring a 
firewall right takes some knowledge and I know I don't know how to do that 
and ZA did not come with instructions telling me that, but Kaspersky was 
intuitive.  If just popped up and asked if you want to let a certain 
application get on the internet and you answer yes or no and then it 
remembers.  I think someone who did not even know what a firewall is could 
use it on their computer without problems like a typical end user.  That 
impresses me.  With the proliferation of broadband I think the typical home 
user should have a software firewall if they have broadband.  Naturally a 
friend of mine had Windows XP and Norton Firewall and his machine on 
broadband got hacked anyway.  But that is consumer Norton and that is 
another story which would be off topic to this subject.
