Hi there...

Could someone please suggest a firewall to use....
One that wont conflict with my Netgear router.... Netgear advises Windows firewall has been known to be a prob with their software and a few others such as ZoneAlarm, Norton & McAfee...

I run Avast Pro and i find it really good... Seems to be doing it's job but doesn't come with a firewall so i suppose im asking....
I know my Router runs with its own firewall but for incoming not outgoing...
This isn't enough is it?

Is there a firewall that i can use that will run well with my router and my antivirus? dumb question?.... Sorry..... I'm a newbie....
