Norton firewall not up to scratch

zombie · 05-06-2003, 11:15 PM

Hi there kool people

I have Norton 2003 firewall installed home comp right
I ve tested the prog with link via this forum
and have various results

11/15 testing soft online say my fwall is not running etc

Also one test show me were i was connected to eg bigpond.com
using 56k connection

Can i run 2 fwall prog at same time is it worth it ?

I use wingate as my firewall router and it seems to do an excellent job but I use it on an old p200 which acts as my server router and a dedicated firewall
have a few freinds who swear by black ice so you might wanna give that a try.
not recomended having 2 firewalls and what use would it do it would only slow down your connection

avg is always worth a try(with the added bonus that its free)
i use this as do many others here:

and just use online scans for back-up purposes(making sure avg is doing its job proper)

geffers, it's about a Firewall, not Virus Scan...

I use Norton Firewall and I've run several of these online security tests and I always got full scores (passed all the tests).
And it's also helped me geting rid of those annoying ads/pop-ups.

I like it!
