Windows firewall. Is it any good?

I've been using zonealarm pro for ages, but its occurred to me that windows firewall probably boots faster at startup and may be lighter on the system. Is it any good as a firewall though?

No. It's shite. Get zonealarm or something.

After loads of issues with Zonealarm it's all I use now. It's obviously no where as good as Zonealarm, but for easy of use it's great. It won't stop anything going out, but does stop bad stuff coming in (Machine on my network got a worm, machine used McAfee Firewall).

Depends how seriously you take all the security, would you be that upset that someone ping'd your computer? Since the new year, I've had no problems with it. Smile

Old Thread Alert!

The last post was made 20 years, 194 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful?
