Alternatives to BlackIce Defender...???

[Chaostician]

I had links to other programs, like BI Defender, but my sys crashed so I lost them (forgot to back up my favorites folder). Can anyone help out with links and names of progs.

Thanks in advance,

Zone Alarm is another that I use. Here's the link. It's a firewall utility that is free.

Another good utility is Jammer. Here's its URL:

Those are the ones I have used or do use. Hope this helps.

i can vouch for Zone Alarm and Black Ice. Both are superior products.

I bought BID but find myself running ZA. I like being able to choose the programs and I like the sheilds up recommendation.

One question about it though. It NEVER says I've received an attack. It's shows up as full stealth at sheilds up, but I have yet to see it inform me of an attack. Yet when I'm running BID I get them all the time. Anyone else have that problem? I know Auraedge mentioned this in another thread.

OPPS! Missed U-96's post in the other thread. Thanks U-96.....ha, I really missed the obvious on that one. http://www.sysopt.com/forum/frown.gif

Now ZA is all good!!
