Which Firewall Compatible with G-Data Antivirus?

Hi
I use G Data Anti-Virus 2011
I want to use a professional firewall that Compatible with G Data Anti-Virus
Can you help me to know Which Firewall Compatible with G Data? (Comodo , Outpost , Online Armor , ... ?)
Thank you

 

I think all of the ones you mentioned are compatible (obviously without bundled av modules)

 

You should then be using G Data Internet Security which is their AV and firewall. The G Data firewall is very compatible with the G Data AV. Or so one would think...

 

Thank you
I saw this topic : Comodo Firewall not compatible with GDATA antivirus
I think that user has G Data Antivirus 2009 or 2010 (Based on post's date)
I want know that the problem solved in new versions or not?

 

I know but G Data firewall is so weak
You can see the results in there : http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge/results.php
I want the strong firewall

 

They tested the HIPS features. The firewall part is good in G-Data. In the Ask Mode it has decent HIPS. Matousec tested the product in their default settings.

 

No, it isn't. The Matousec test is a HIPS test, not a firewall test, no matter what they choose to call it. The G Data firewall is good.

 

You are wrong

firstly matousec is very famous Firewall outbound test ... not only for HIPS
for example kaspersky 7 didn't has any HIPS Technology but reach good results
or other firewall that didn't have HIPS

Secondary matousec explained the products settings in their test
The products are configured to their highest usable security settings and tested with this configuration only

 

@majid20, I am a little wrong though. It indeed has some Firewall tests but mostly it is a test for proactive defense. Download any of the PDF reports and identify how many of them are for Firewall part.
Kaspersky has an excellent HIPS and that's why it scored well.
View the score for Sunbelt (formet kerio) firewall. No one can doubt that it is an excellent firewall, but scores poorly as it has not that strong HIPS.
I may be wrong about the configurations used for testing but The after turning on the Ask mode and HIPS features G-Data scored decent in CLT test. So, I have enough doubts about this.

 

The first time Kaspersky used HIPS in their product was in 2009 (Version 8 to above)
Old versions of kaspersky didn't have HIPS (Kaspersky 7)
But the old versions in their time reach good result
Why kaspersky without HIPS reach good result if it only for HIPS?
Why matousec tests is very valid for firewalls?

I don't know , maybe you are right and I was wrong
If it true, can you introduced the other site for firewall testing?
(I mean for outbound testing not Inbound)

 

Can u please give me the link for the test of KIS 7? I googled about ut but couldn't find.
There is very few tests that check for outbound control only, most of them has some HIPS component too. You need to distinguish the Firewall component only.

2009 was the first time Kaspersky called it HIPS and had a full scale Application control GUI element but many of the features you might associate with HIPS products were there in version 7. Pro-Active Defense (particularly if you put it in training mode) alerted you to all types of potentially malicious behaviour including code injections, key logging etc. It still does though many mistake the alerts for HIPS alerts.

I think you might find it was those features rather than the firewall that led to the Matousec score. Matousec even then had little to do with classic firewall capabilities.

Cheers

 

This is matousec test for KIS 7.0.1.325

majid20 might be worth looking here http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge/level.php?num=1 and running through the different levels of tests Matousec runs.

Many of those used in your Kasperky example will still be there. You will see from what they are trying to exploit that they are are some firewall tests (Echo, Yalta, TCP/IP filtering etc) but most are pro-active defence for autoruns, application launch, process termination, keylogging etc. It is not your firewalls job to deal with those. I would be any pro-active, behaviour blocking or HIPS functionality that should take care of these (according to Matousec at least).

As noted Kaspersky 7 may not have had HIPS bit it did have Pro-Active Defense.

Back on topic. In the short while I ran G-Data anti-virus Online Armor worked seamlessly with it.

Cheers

 

I have been running GData A/V with Online Armor Paid for a few months & the two work great on by xp box.

 

ِThank you so much

 

If I want use Online Armor firewall , Is free version good enough or I must use Pro version?

 

I think there is no difference between tham in the firewall part. Pro version has some added HIPS features. IMO free version is enough to do the job.
You can also try Private Firewall.

 

Good Evening ! Been using G-Data I.S. 2011 for the past couple of weeks, and the firewall works flawlessly so far. Prior to using the suite I auditioned G-Data Anti Virus 2011 with P.C.Tools Firewall Plus and both worked harmoniously with one another. Sincerely...Securon

 

I have used GData IS for a couple of years now and in my experiences it is top notch. It just works. I have many licenses to other AV's but I keep coming back to GData. I also trialed GData AV with PC Tools firewall and Online Armor Premium and had no issues. I like the Suite and that is what I use. Fewer programs, to me, is less hassle.

 

Thanks a lot

 

On my Win 7/64, G-data 2011 Outpost 7 FW are giving me corrupted downloaded files. Avira and Outpost 7 work great, and G-data and Win 7 FW work. Seems to have conflicts with Outpost and G-data, only.
