hey guys ... im at my dad's place setting his mdg pc up
anyways with all the free software that came with this computer thay didnt give him a firewall or virus scanner at all >< i put a firewall on for now but its gonna expire in 28 days so i kinda need one thats free but will stay on here
i also put ad-aware on and mozilla figgered i might as well save some trouble leter lol
ive searched google for free firewall and anti-virus but the only ones i can seem to find are 30 day trials
if anyone knows of somthing plz do let me know
anti-virus is no biggie cuz i can always use an online scan when needed but firewall is a must

Also put it on a router, so even without the firewall you're safe from any inbound stuff. But firewall is not a bad idea to monitor outbound stuff. (ex: a program "calling home")

Honk if you love Jesus, text if you want to meet Him!
If the pc is used for banking, it needs to be as secure as you can make it.
ZA is a very good firewall, I liked the free version best as it was less complicated. I discovered that people who just want to turn a pc on and use it, are better off with the simple stuff.
ZA would still be here but Panda now has a built in firewall.

I had that firewall for a while but found it screwed up my FTP connections. I'd authenticate, get on the server, but as soon as it went to do a file listing, it would time out, and never let the packet through.
