From: No Spam on 3 Dec 2009 22:34 I am sure that this has been discussed before, but I need your recommendations. I need a freeware firewall for Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate, a lightweight one. It must allow me to control processes and applications that try to connect to the network/Internet, I need to prevent certain applications from calling home. Your recommendations, as always, will be appreciated. Thank you.

TallEmu OnlineArmor and Comodo's firewall are top-rated for freeware product; however, TallEmu doesn't yet have a 64-bit version of OnlineArmor so Comodo is your best freeware choice.

See: http://www.symantec.com/norton/sygate/index.jsp Sygate supports: Windows 95 (OSR2 & OSR2.5) Windows 98, 98 Second Edition Windows Millennium Edition (ME) Windows NT 4.0 Workstation with SP6 or later Windows NT 4.0 Server or Terminal Server with SP6 or later Windows 2000 Professional, 2000 Server, Advanced Server Windows XP Home Edition, Professional Windows 2003 Server (32 bit version) All of those are 32-bit operating systems.

You might take a look at PC Tools Firewall Plus™ 6: http://www.pctools.com/firewall I'm using it on one of my computers and it seems to do the job. Just make sure that you turn your cable modem or other modem on after the firewall is running. For some reason and unlike Kerio 2.1.5, it doesn't start until the system is almost fully booted. -- John Corliss BS206.
