Don't laugh, but the Windows SP2 ICF meets all three requirements.
ZA may seem "beginner" because in its default mode it is suitable for beginners. Try making some advanced rules or turning on advanced...
Ok, I buy into this line of reasoning that the real test is whether there is a system slowdown. That could be independent of memory usage, unless...
No problem, just get the latest dual processor CPU and 2 gigs of memory, and you will not even notice it:)
Depends on what you mean by a major player. Compared to Norton, McAfee and Trend, everyone else is tiny. It is not on this list:...
For notebooks, a software firewall is indicated if you use them on a different network than in your home. In that case the windows ICF will do...
The two AV's with really low memory usage are Dr.Web and F-Prot. Both have very good detection rates. I have some experience with F-Prot and it...
Just uninstall Zone Alarm and depend on your router. Believe it or not, the world will not end and your PC will be more responsive.
Vog is good for you. I think I need to go back to Kona and do some diving, lay out on the beach and ride through the volcanic ash piles.
Where exactly was the lie?
Vampiric Crow- I did not say the test was perfect, just that there is enough correlation with other tests like AV Comparatives, and even what...
Its lame if your favorite AV did not do well. Its no problem if your favorite AV did well. Ever notice how KAV and its clones always top the...
My answer to the initial question is, in a word, yes.
Does all of this detail really make a difference. Thre are millions of computers hooked up to broadband using nothing more than a NAT or the...
I gave this a quick try. It does not seem to do much. It definitely will not ask you "can xyz.exe access the internet?".
I agree to the extent that no program should phone home without at least telling you about it first. The AV publishers have an advantage here...
Trend is gaining market share among corportate customers. A large research institution where I do volunteer work recently switched to it from...
Whatever floats your boat, but It seems to me that an extra tray icon is pretty minor stuff, if you find an AV (or anythng else) that has nothing...
I think it is kind of scary that Tiny has a default mode of no protection. The only other firewall that does this is CHX-1, but they provide a...
In the last AV Comparatives test several AV publishers showed a very large improvement in detection percentages. I guess they have relized that...
My preference is for FF, primarily because of the availability of extensions. Also, some parts of the SW Bell/Yahoo site will not allow the use...
The answer depends on what is important to you. Advocates of KAV like its very high rate of detection. NOD users say they like it due to its...
The extent to which any software gets pirated is related to simple economics. That is supply and demand. Demand is simply that people want it...
OTOH, the ablity to manage multiple connections under P2P without significant system slowdowns is a great test of a firewall's capability....
I have to agree with P2K on something here. If you have not tested a product, don't bash it. When there are thousands of users, some will have...
Separate names with a comma.
