In my experience, Zone Alarm is a great firewall. However, it seemed to have issues on my PC. After a while it would seem to blow up, and mess my whole PC up. It is hard to completely uninstall, or at least it seemed that way for me.

It is a good firewall but it is also not very stable.

I dont appear to be able to get ZA to work on 64-bit XP, so Ive gone for comodo, and Im rather glad I did!


Got it with the defense settings that monitors pretty much every change in your computer not just traffic. Pretty decent!

Hi. I recently bought a laptop with 64 bit Vista. I downloaded Comodo but when I attempted to install it said it did not support 64 bit and closed and wouldn't install but said to see comodo.com for 64 bit version but I do not find a 64 bit version at their website. Did it work for you because you have XP instead of Vista?

Does anyone know of a good, free firewall that supports 64 bit?

Thank you carnageX, appreciate! I am downloading now, says it will take 1 hour to finish downloading. Is that normal? I have satellite internet.

I just noticed that the link you gave is for comodo firewall & anti-virus. I don't want the anti-virus because I am currently using Avast. I just need the firewall for 64 bit, do you know if it available as a free download without the anti-virus included?

Exclamation Re: Tech-Forums Top Rated Firewall

I chose ZA based on ease of use, protection,program control features and the only other one I would have voted for but was not on the list was... the AVG firewall.

Anyone know anything about webroot? Is this worth anything? It technically costs money but you can now get it free.
