Norton AntiVirus 2009: No Firewall

I would just like to make it clear, to everyone who does not know already, is that Norton AntiVirus 2009 does not have a Firewall and should therefore either Turn On Windows' Firewall, or - Highly-Recommended - use a well-Trusted Firewall.  Thanks!

Modders should make this a stick note. Here are some good free firewalls if you cannot afford NIS.

Real Time Protection = NIS 2009 + NAT
Behavior Analysis = Threatfire

Comodo has changed since they came out with CIS. Also Comodo can be overwhelming with a lot of pop ups. Its not a firewall for newbies.

I know. I was along time user of Comodo. I helped alot of people out in the forums. Most people had no idea what do to with it. This is why I did not recommend it.

Online Armor

PCTools 

Comodo

 

Those are the top free firewalls and the only ones I would trust and use.

Highly recommend if on Vista, the free version of Vista Firewall Control from SphinxSoftware.
