firewall recommendation

i use private firewall, the PFGui.exe has a lot of disk usage, even if i disable log and process monitor.

win 7 64 bit.

do you have any recommendation for replace PF?

thanks!

 

I would recommend a lifetime license of Outpost: http://www.agnitum.com/purchase/outpost/

Latest version (Security Suite or only firewall with Avast! for example) running light and smooth.

 

If you want something simple, windows firewall control, if you want something like PF try Comodo Firewall or OA Free, I prefer comodo firewall, and it's free.

I would recommend my all time favorite, Jetico Personal Firewall. It is using 7.25Mb of disk space on my system.

 

Look'n'Stop

 

thanks a lot for your input, but i want to know how about the I/O usage of your Firewall? PF generate more I/O activities than anti-virus.

 

Free? I'd recommend ZA's renowned OS Firewall - its free!

And if you need AV, the free integrated suite with the world-famous Kaspersky engine is hard to beat as a security combo!

 

Sorry about that, I misinterpreted what you were looking for.

Viewing the processes with Process Hacker, jpfsrv.exe bounces between 128, 192, and 256 kB/s I/O Total Rate. jpf.exe uses 0.

What is Private Firewall using?

 

in process hacker PFGui.exe shows 1 Kb/s, some times 78.99 Kb/s I/O Total.

I wonder why Avast is lower: 32 B/s + 48 B/s
