    What firewalls are suitable for ADSL users?

    Anyone using any firewall programs and can recommend a suitable one?

    I have seen Zone Alarm and Sygate Personal Firewall.

    ZA and Tiny are good (and free).

    There is a link to the Tiny Personal Firewall website HERE it's what I use with my 512K ADSL line and it works a treat.

    Tiny and Zonealarm are about equal, but zonealarm is easier to use and tiny can be configured better albeit manually. If you are sure what you are doing, I prefer tiny. If your not sure, use za or sygate as they are better suited to newer less experienced users.
