The Vista one. * It's already there and therefore doesn't introduce further vulnerabilities and questionable features. * Any security product containing the word "suite" should be looked at with great scepticism. * One must assume that MS knows about the environment it's supposed to protect in greater detail than any third party. |

| Guest | Re: Kapersky firewall or windows firewall? What specific feature set are you looking for? Without a proper understanding of the features you need and the risks you are trying to mitigate all you will get is a popularity contest. --- Your question may already be answered in Windows Vista Security: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/047...otectyourwi-20 |

The Vista f/w is nicely integrated with its Private/Public Profiles and is stateful. I run the ZA beta with the Vista f/w to have convenient outbound control. Works great |

Mr. Arnold: Technically, that should be a very rare experience for two simple packet filtering f/ws if the rules are setup correctly. I have run as many as three f/ws concurrently w/o problems (just to prove the concept). |

May ask why the reasoning behind 3? I run two packet filters myself Vista's FW and IPsec. But that's for a dial-up connection for a laptop. |

Many people have run more than one firewall at once without a problem. However the *risk* of a problem is always there, and that's why it shouldn't be done. Here's what Microsoft has to say about running two software firewalls at once: http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu.../firewall.mspx "Q. Should I use both the built-in firewall and a software firewall from a different company on my Windows XP computer? "A. No. Running multiple software firewalls is unnecessary for typical home computers, home networking, and small-business networking scenarios. Using two firewalls on the same connection could cause issues with connectivity to the Internet or other unexpected behavior. One firewall, whether it is the Windows XP Internet Connection Firewall or a different software firewall, can provide substantial protection for your computer." -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
