    Currently running Trend Internet Security trial on my new netbook till I get some time to install Panda Cloud Pro and Firewall X.

    Any suggestions for a free firewall?

    Online Armor free or Private Firewall are both good choices. Since Panda has behavior blocking you can (if you choose) disable Online Armors HIPS and just use the firewall component...:D

    Real-time MBAM didn't last long. Emsisoft suggested a solution to a problem I was having with Mamutu, so it is now reinstalled. Does MBAM have a problem with Mamutu? I think I read that once here, so MBAM is now off as a real-time scanner and Avast (all shields this time) is back on as a companion to Mamutu.

    Fortinet because it performed well in my test and I needed a easy to handle, lightweight suite..;) But its heuristic causes FPs on 2 files of Winpatrol and a lots of VLC plugins.
