    ZoneAlarm Firewall VS Comodo Firewall Pro

    If you were me, which one will you choose? NIS is lagging my system.

    I would take Zone Alarm any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Nothing wrong with Comodo, but Ive always had good luck with Zone Alarm.

    NIS didn't even lag on my machine! You must have a 2008 version.

    Which version of NIS are you using? If it's NIS 2007 or 2008 then you just need to upgrade to NIS 2009 to get good performance.

    On the other hand, if NIS 2009 slows down yor PC then all the other Firewall will slow down your PC even more.

    I cannot say as I am using KIS 09. But maybe you can take a look at this results publish in this forum entitle firewall test result http://www.raymond.cc/forum/spyware-...st-result.html

    Here are the results http://www.matousec.com/projects/fir...ge/results.php
    Before using KIS 09, I was using ZoneAlram (ZA).

    ZA is not silent. Everything, it will ask for your permission. It might suit you if you like that kind of program.

    I cannot comment on comodo as I have never used it.

    I would agree with the rest about upgrading your NIS to NIS 09 as I heard it is as good as KIS 09.

    I like ZoneAlarm because it's very noob friendly. Outpost is a very good product and protects against more stuff than Outpost. Outpost is a light product by my standards and ZoneAlarm is also a light firewall.

    ^Then NIS 2009 will not lag on your system as your have a Good PC. I tell you, you won't need to bother for Zonealarm once you've installed NIS 2009.
