Decent firewall for XP
« on: November 08, 2010, 05:42:46 PM »
I just installed ZoneAlarm and it is absolutely useless. I only wanted it to stop a program acessing the internet when installing but it couldn't even do that, it had finished installing by the time the zonealarm warning poped up.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a decent free firwall?

Are you trying to block Windows Update or verifier?  8)

Just turn off your wireless and/or unplug the ethernet cable.  That is what I do.

No, just install a random program, if I wanted to block Windows Update or verifier I would have just turned it off.  Thanks to hilander72 and wolkec for the suggestions.
