Where is Windows XP SP2's firewall in the poll?

 

[comrade]

the fact that windows firewall is more than enough for any home user..for me zonealarm & other firewalls are just like adware/spyware as they r just going to annoy u by prompting & interrupting ur work.
avast is the best free antivirus
antivir is slighty better than avast but backedup by slow updates.
since then started using firefox never cared abt spyware/adwares.

Where is Windows XP SP2's firewall in the poll?

Windows XP Firewall is in-built firewall available to all. Hence there is no need to mention it separately. I am listing down popular and good free security package.

 

[ssk_the_gr8]

what abt super antispyware free kiran?

 

[Kiran.dks]

ssk_the_gr8, I have listed only popular security packages which are often recommended by techies. Super Antispyware has not yet established enough share in the market.
