Replying to Which Free Firewall Is Best For Windows7 X64 Version

Comodo with Avast is a very common and Popular combination... highly recommended

i think comodo is good,but let me try it first

As per my knowledge SOPA is not directly related to torrent or warez. I think it is related to content piracy that if someone create blog or twitt nobody can use ditto copy of that content. And as per torrent and warez there is a law existing in present time that is why Megupload recently headed by FBI, even SOPA has not been approved.
But i did not read official copy of both SOPA and PIPA. Still in search of those, if anyone hape please share it here.

Be sure about one thing. If the intenet giants like Google, Wikipedia, Wordpress and Twitter, and many others keep rising against such bills, it is never going to be approved. If they don't get these giants in confidence about the bill, they should just forget about passing it.

they have tried this before and failed, i won't be surprised if they will try again later

yeah.. but sopa will not get approved.. it has been now pulled off by the proposer..

And if that SOPA thing gets approved, astahost might get banned in US for this. Am I right @yordan.

lucky it didn't, but it won't be it's last attempt...

Please carefully read your forum rules.
Using cracked versions is named piracy, you should not propagate these kind of illegal behaviors.

My post might be a little offtopic but I am sure that this the best place for such discussion. I am not sure about the firewalls mentioned in the poll, because I have never used them. My actual reason for posting is to discuss the vulnerability of windows firewall. I have been using microsoft Operating systems since I bought my first computer. And I have never used any other firewall because I have never had any complain. One opinion about this is that In my country (Pakistan) the IT industry is not very developed and there is not enough infrastructure, which means that less people are using broadband connections to the internet. This eventually means that the scope of hacking and cracking is not very wide, so most of the time people don't have to worry about being hacked. But the opinion I want to present is that internet has made the world like a global village where anyone form any part of the world can interact with any other person like they both live in the same town. So anyone in any part of the world can be hacked.

Another point is that even hackers won't waster their time on trying to hack somebody's computer who has nothing beneficial for them. So your products and security would be tested only when you become a target. And I think I have never become a target that is why I never had a compalin about microsoft.

But are microsoft firewalls that bad. I mean they are a big big company. Much bigger than others mentioned in the firewall. Can't microsoft make better firewalls than these comparatively smaller companies. Yes I agree that the other smaller companies are specialists and microsoft has lots of other things to handle as well, but even then microsoft should be able to stay ahead of the competition, considering their brain power, research and user base.

I personally think that microsoft firewalls are better than others but they are compromised more often because they are targeted more often. I mean its simple to understand that if you can't get pass the windows default firewall, who in the world will call you a hacker. So it might be hackers' first try to get pass windows default firewall. And when people try hard to achieve something, they often get that.

NOTE: I might be wrong in my opinions and I AM NOT A HACKER OR MICROSOFT AFFILIATE.

have a look at windows 7 firewall control from sphinx software.. its only 1 mb and does the job pretty well
