What do you guys run for firewalls with Windows 7? I just upgraded only to find out the Zone Alarm firewall is incompatable.:bawling:
 
Zone Alarm developed Windows 7 compatibility quite awhile ago, try upgrading your software. Or you might even need to buy a new Windows 7 version of their program, not sure.
 
Why do you think you need a special firewall software for a home PC? The Windows 7 firewall is good enough for a home PC.

If it is a work PC, the company should have equipment that are firewalls only in between the modem and a switch.

Pretty simple really. Last time I trusted Microsoft security I ended up with around 100 viruses and malware. Since then Ive been running an my own firewall and antivirus and have had no problems.

I guess I'll look into buying a full version instead of the free one they hand out.

Sounds like you need to stop visiting bad sites.

I download items constantly and have NEVER had a virus or intrusion through my Windows firewall.
 
Haha no bad sites. It was the family computer after all. There were a few bugged downloads with trojans that got right through and Windows never picked them up or stopped them. Norton and Zone Alarm pick them up and isolate them almost instantly.
