Looking for a good combo

I just purchased a full version of Avira, but now I need a firewall to compliment it. Can anyone tell me what is best to combine with this AV, preferably something light on resources and easy for a beginner in firewall rules to use. My operating system is windows 7 64-bit home premium with blackviper's supertweaks

Thanks

 

You will get a hundred opins on this matter
so here mine...
Outpost Firewall

and or
Online Armor

COMODO firewall.

I love Online Armor and see that hayc59 recommended it. I don't think that they have a 64 bit version quite yet though, so you may want to look at other vendors or wait until Online Armor has a 64 bit version.

 

Here are my 2 cents ...
Zonealarm, PCtools firewall.
Comodo is good but might be a little noisy for begginers.

 

Outpost, Zonealarm, Comodo, PcTools Firewall

All good choices for the home users, even if the "experts" may disagree.

 

Privatefirewall (best to use 3 day the learning mode)

ZoneAlarm

 

My favorite Combo: GeSWall + Avast 5.
Ice

 

kjdemuth is right about COMODO being noisy but it actually taught me alot about security and that can't be a bad thing. Once you learn what it's doing it's hard to use anything else.

 

OnlineArmor does not yet support 64bit computers.

Thanks.

 

I suggest PCtools Firewall Pro

 

Win 7 firewall is good enough for protection but if you still insist on installing a firewall then I would suggest PC Tools Firewall

 

hmm - easy...

Windows Firewall aint nice for you?
It works with the windows build in WFP (Windows Filtering Platform)
and offer elemental knowledge how that works.
PCtools 6 is easy - and light weight - and freeware - and works also with WFP.
Windows 7 Firewall Control - Freeware for a beginning - also for WFP.

If you want more then i recommend Online Armor or Outpost.
But "more" does not only mean "more options" - you have to learn a lot
more of options and messages and what's its meaning - no simple yes/no
button like the others. luckily those two offers a feedback into the web
to the knowledge of other users to make you the decisions easier

Since you use 64 bit your options are limited. I personally have been happily in love with Outpost firewall.
