Need of a good software firewall

Hi guys,

I recently asked around If I need a software firewall along with my firewall NAT router just to monitor outbound connections.

I am behind a router firewall now along with Mcafee VirusScan.

Now for the firewall, I think Im going to go try Comodo firewall but ONLY the firewall. Now, since Comodo has this HIPS thing called Defense ++, will this give me the ZERO-DAY protections too as well?

Thanks.

 

comodo is really a good choice if you are used to classical HIPS..I would also suggest you trying private firewall

 

Ok, I know.....But do these prevent the Zero-Day exploits as well, so I do not have to rush on patching my OS? get

In other words, some enterprise level AVs do prevent/recognize exploits BEFORE they are patched or discovered....

So how about these that you just mentioned?

 

it is fully equipped to fight zero day crap..and its free and highly configurable..

 

Even Comodo and Online Armour free editions?
