Piebob Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 Unless you are doing something "unusual", or using your PC for work, Windows Firewall is probably enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westward Posted February 15, 2023 Report Share Posted February 15, 2023 I've used ZoneAlarm free for well over 20 years. There's never been anything better and It now includes anti virus and anti malware protection. After 40 years in the computer industry I still don't trust Windows enough to use the built in firewall.

ShootingEgg Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 If this is just a normal home pc use, then no real need, you're just spending money for the sake of spending. The built in defender program will do the job.. Β All antivirus / firewall softwares like that work off of the same set of rules. So if one says you're not coming in as the rule is no trainers, the they all say that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
