BlackICE Defender is good or hoax?
Q: What do you think BlackICE Defender, is it worth it? or is just another product that bloatware kinda works. I have a home network is connected via DSL, Im looking for opinions. Thx!
Best Answer: Not familiar with BlackIce and as far as the free version of ZoneAlarm goes, its useless. I recommend Comodo Firewall Pro at no cost.
Re:I have been using Black Ice for 6 months now, no complaints.
Re:I find ZoneAlarm to be quite good and free.
BID is probably better, but it does cost alot more to.
Re:I've been using BlackICE for a couple of days now and I am quite impressed by it. It's nice to be able to see when the university tech people are checking on your comp….heheh.
Re:Anyone tried Sygate personel firewall too? Its is also free and was rated an A on a personal firewall match.i think it was done at sharkys.
Re:you really cant beat the price of zone alarm. its free. its very intuitive to use as well. even a moron such as myself figured things out pretty quickly.
Re:I use and like BlackICE. I will check out ZoneAlarm when I install my parent's firewall this winter break.
Re:No, BlackICE is a pretty good firewall, not a hoax at all… However there's also ZoneAlarm (http://www.zonelabs.com) avaliable, which is just as good and free…
