Default What Firewall do you use?
Widkidone's PC Specs

I am just curious because I am currently looking at some firewalls. I am using Spy-bots, Spywareblaster, Ad-Aware SE Personal. As my Browsers I am using FireFox as my primary and SeaMonkey as my secondary browser. The AV i am using is NOD32.

I am currently looking in to Comodo Personal Firewall because I have read so many positive things about and that its better than ZoneAlarm and others and not only that its free!

Using some apps like spy-bot, ad-ware was a very common thing for me some time ago. The combination Kaspersky Anti-virus and Kaspersky Anti-hacker has improved my life a lot. Back in ice ages i was using the sygate firewall and for some hours the ZoneAlarm.

Hardware firewalls are the best but to setup it correctly is another story.

Comodo Personal Firewall is outstanding. Yes, its has its pop ups at first like any other firewall when you open up a file like BF2142. I prefer this over the Windows Firewall which does not help very much in the real world. It does not consume alot of resource or causes any lag or anything.
