Guest Reimar Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Hiya alldoes the home edition of Avast include a firewall? Thanks all Avast is an Anti Virus Software and not an Firewall! As firewall may you try to use the Kerio Firwall which work closly together with Avast. Kerio and Alwil Software are related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Stick to the free version that doesn't have bundled antivirus and it's fine. I ran it with Avast for years without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 (edited) comodo firewall and anti virus.perfect if your looking for something completly free that includes updates. Avoid it like the plauge. From alt.comp.spyware:As has been disussed in public forums, the Launch Pad is add-on software used as a marketing vehicle for other Comodo products and services. There is no documentation or mention of the add on software at Comodo’s web site. As well, there is no method to un-install the software without removing the desired application…Comodo’s overall image of trustworthiness is degraded by tactics formerly reserved to scam artists. Seems Comodo itself is spyware/adware. Edited January 14, 2007 by cdnvic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have taken it out of new versions but it definitely was a problem before. I'd be very skeptical about any company that does, or used to bundle hidden programs disguised as security tools. Especially if there are so many other trusted and free alternatives out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
