Title: Lightest firewall
Post by: cat-bomb on May 21, 2012, 08:47:32 PM

Its been a while hasn't it CH?

I'm looking for a firewall that is easy on my system as I am running a low performance computer. I have already tried zone alarm and Pc tools firewall+ and they are a huge burden on my system.

I am running windows Xp on a 2006 desktop machine with 1gb ram, 250gb hd, 256mb video ram. My antivirus is panda cloud. I recently restored my pc so i could have it like it was outta the box, fast and I wanna keep it that way as much as possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Comodo Firewall might work well for you.

I've actually just uninstalled ZoneAlarm because of the constant pop-ups it's been giving me over the past week to download their full security suite.

If it's XP SP 2 or 3, the lightest firewall is the one already installed.  And it's perfectly adequate for most purposes.
