Which firewall works fine with Nod 3.xxx

[guilijan]

Just to know wich firewalls (version?) work fine with Nod 32 3.0.563.0.

For example Comodo? Jetico? ZOneAlarm? etc etc

[GoldenTower]

I believe comodo do, because lots of people claimed that it does.

[guilijan]

OK may be it's a good idea people post what firewall use with Nod 32 3.0.563.0. without problem or may be not?

[GoldenTower]

I'm guessing there might be some errors. But probably something minor. Nothing major I bet. All I can tell you right now.

[BlueMick]

I've used Look n Stop with no problems at all with v2.7 for a couple of years. I did install v3 but reverted back to v2.7 because of various issues discussed elsewhere on the board, (problems loading web pages, and for some reason I couldn't open webpages at all on my wife's user account) and I'm going to leave it a couple of weeks before I try to reinstall. I don't think there was any problem with incompatibility with the firewall, however.

[Togg]

Working fine with Comodo so far!

[mrgigabyte]

i have been using and updating to the new versions of nod when they come out and i am using the newest version 3.0.563 right now and i have nod on two computers and comodo firewall on both also and i am having no problems at all i am using 2.4 for the firewall i am very happy with the new nod i like it alot hope that helps you out mrgigabyte 8)

Windows XP SP2 firewall works fine with Nod32, all versions. Yea, I know it doesn't scan outgoing files, but that's a whole other subject for another day.

[disinter1]

Comodo version 2 and version 3 rc1 have worked flawless (v 3 now removed due to waiting for final release) for me, and now that Comodo version 3 will have hips it will complete my setup!;D

[TheBozz09]

"ESET NOD32 Antivirus v3.0.563.0" + "ZoneAlarm Security Suite v7" + "McAfee Desktop Firewall" + "Symantec Endpoint Security", all active and working fine with me.

Testing LnS and Online Armor now.:-*

All these programs active at the same time........gonna give you trouble!
Too much and not needed!

He's asking for a "compatible" firewall so I tested them all at once. No troubles received so far. BTW, these firewalls are set to their maximum security settings.

[aptisman]

V560 working fine with Look 'n' Stop here.

[GWA]

Webroot Personal Firewall works fine also. And it is now free. CHUCK

[Joliet Jake]

Another Comodo v2.4 here. Working fine.

[mert90]

And another Comodo v2.4 here. Working flawless and smooth.

Nod32 3.0 and Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 working fine

[Janner]

-{ Quote: "Nod32 3.0 and Outpost Firewall Pro 2008 working fine" }-

Did you have to do any specific tweaks to get these two working together?

Comments on both here and the Agnitum forum have suggested that there are some conflicts, particularly if using Vista. These have prevented me from dusting off my Outpost License.

[veri]

3.0.563 working fine with Sygate 5.6.3408.

[Zarra]

Which firewall works good with Vista and Nod32 v3? I looked into Comodo but the current version is not compatible with Vista.

[TonyKlein]

Works fine with Online Armor as well

[Janner]

-{ Quote: "Which firewall works good with Vista and Nod32 v3? I looked into Comodo but the current version is not compatible with Vista." }-

Comodo v3.0 RC1 is available via their support forum. I believe this and NOD32 v3.0 will work together okay in Vista.

Despite being a Release Candidate, I understand it is quite stable and fairly bug free.

[clevelandtxus]

Sunbelt Kerio and Nod 3.0.563 are working fine together

[Pfipps]

Nod32 3.0 works well with Webroot firewall and PCTools firewall on Vista. Personally, the webroot firewall seems to offer better security since it is a rebranded Privacyware firewall. In my opinion, NOD32 with either of those firewalls is better than ESS because of the HIPS like functionality in both.

I installed NOD v3.0.563 on a Windows XP Home SP2 system running ZAP 7.0.408 and it seemed to run well. There apparently are people also using NOD v3.x successfully with ZASS but on my main desktop with Windows XP Pro SP2 running ZASS 7.0.408 (of course with the AV disabled) I experienced some strange problems with sites requiring a login.

It seemed as though the combination of NOD v3 and ZASS was blocking cookies and even though adjusting the ZASS FW privacy settings for each site I had intermittent problems related to this issue. I was getting messages telling me that my browser was blocking cookies and that I needed to re-login and even after logging in I could not access the next page on that site. I use mobile code blocking in ZASS but even with mobile code and all cookies enabled I still experienced this problem accessing web sites requiring a login with both FF and IE 7. When I disabled ZASS and restarted (using the Windows XP SP2 FW) the problem went away and also after I just un-installed NOD v3 (and used the AV in ZASS) the problem went away.

I had some limited success by trying to tweak the ZASS settings but overall I couldn't find the settings with ZASS and my other software that completely eliminated the problem. On the positive side the browser cookie problem and the random OE *bing* noise issue were the only noticeable issues I had when running both ZASS and NOD v3. The NOD v3 email scanning seemed to work fine as well as the MailFrontier antispam module for OE. For now I have reverted back to NOD v2.7 which works well with ZASS (AV disabled) until a later date when I decide to give v3 another try with ZASS and the other security programs I am running. I would recommend trying the latest ZAP instead of ZASS since another system of mine is using ZAP 7.0.408 that seems to work fine along with NOD v3.x.

This issue could also be the result of a combination of other real time security software I am using which includes ThreatFire, SAS, and Windows Defender. I am also using McAfee QuickClean 6.01 but I don't think it caused the problem. If you do decide to use ZA I recommend you try turning off the ZASS or ZAP anti-spyware module if you run into similar problems even though it didn't solve the browser cookie problem on my system running ZASS.

I'm running NOD32 3.0.563.0 in conjunction with ZoneAlarm Pro 7.0.408.000 with absolutely no problems in WinXP Pro.

Thanks. I will look into the Comodo v3 RC1. Right now I'm using Window's firewall (and router) but I want something that monitors incoming and outgoing activities.

[ultragunnerdcl]

Online Armor also works great with nod32... Im using it with nod32 version 3.0.xxx

[SteveBlanchard]

Running Comodo with v3.0.566.0 seems okay - Able to use PC a damn site quicker than Comodo with KAV7.0

[speed79]

Ashampoo firewall pro tested working fine with nod32 antivirus 3.0

[lordaeron64]

V3.0.566.0 works fine with look and stop (w xp sp2 home edition)

[gud4u]

Running nicely with:
- Comodo V3 Firewall Pro (both Internet Monitor and HIPS active)
- Comodo BOClean 4.25 resident anti-spyware
- SuperAntiSpyware (non-resident manual scan only)

Don't you find BoClean slows things down a little?

Using a-quared free in addtion to the Comodo products listed above.

Bovine, I tried my best to find a solution to "login/cookie" issue but every time I thought I found a solution then the problem re-surfaced. At some point I realized that I couldn't effectively use those web based login sites so I switched back to v2.7 and haven't seen the problem since. Our posts point to this being a potential problem on some systems running NOD v3 along with ZAP/ZASS v7.x. I hope that a fix or work around can be found for this problem.

I faced similar problems with NOD V3 and ZoneAlarm Pro 7.1.087.000 (without Anti Virus.) After I marked the 'Cookie Control' slider in Zonealarm Pro down to 'Off,' my problems came to an end. I have now installed the Firefox 'CookieSafe' extension and find it much more effective and configurable than the 'Cookie Control' feature of ZoneAlarm. Moreover, it bonds wonderfully with NOD V3.

[Zarra]

Comodo released the final version 3.0.12.226 firewall today. It works well with Nod32 on both XP and Vista machines.

[AaLF]

As a side issue, I tried adding OnLine Armor (as a HIPS - without firewall) to ESS 3.0. For those who haven't tried it, do yourself a favor & don't venture down this path.

[alant56]

Hi Guy's

I didn't see any mention of this in the thread so for any of you that are not aware, ESET have now released ESET "Smart Security" which has all of the current NOD32 capability PLUS it's own fully integrated Firewall and Anti-Spam capability. There is an upgrade path (chargeable) for existing NOD32 Anti-Virus users.

true there is, but the firewall isn't as strong as some of the others mentioned - plus nothing beats Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0 (oh & comodo is free).

[NodboN]

:thumb: I tried out Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0.12.266 after uninstalling ZoneAlarm Pro 7.0.408.000 - found NOD V3 works without any conflicts.

:thumb: Yesterday, I reinstalled the latest release of ZoneAlarm Pro 7.0.462.000 after getting fed up with all those pop-ups from the D+ component of Comodo - NOD32 V3 works flawlessly with this edition of ZoneAlarm Pro, too.

The D+ popups are getting less as the week goes on.:)

[Joliet Jake]

I've now updated to Comodo Firewall V3 and things are still sweet. Using Defense + too.

[Allen L.]

-{ Quote: "Sunbelt Kerio and Nod 3.0.563 are working fine together" }-
I'll second that. Kerio is a very good firewall and has packet inspection, which a lot of firewalls lack. Never a problem with NOD 2.7 or 3.xxx.

[NodboN]

-{ Quote: "The D+ popups are getting less as the week goes on.:)" }-

That's good to know (I may just give it another go) - it did combine quite well with NOD V3. 8)

[Togg]

NOD 3 Antivirus and Comodo V 3 with Defense + activated are co-existing quite happily here on my XP Home computer.

I was having the same problems with sites I use since I upgraded my NOD32 even though the same sites were working in Maxthon, I followed this tip and turned off the cookie control in ZA and haven't had any problems with getting into my forums since.

Now this may not be just a problem with ZA and NOD32 as my husbands machine has the same version of ZA as I do but he uses Avast for his AV and he was having problems with being able to work in some of his forums, he could log in but going to another page logged him out and he was unable to post as that would log him out as well. He has just had to have his machine reinstalled so had other problems to sort out so we thought it may have been something to do with that causing the problem but, I thought I'd try setting the cookie control to off in his ZA and low and behold he can once again get into and use his forums without any more problems 8)

Sorry for the long post but wanted to give my experience on the problem ;)

[NodboN]

Hi Joan,

Glad that it has helped you and your Hubby. You're right - this problem has nothing to do with the combination of ZoneAlarm and NOD32 - it's ZoneAlarm that's the sole cause. 8)
