Do i need to use a firewall even though i hv already an anti virus? What about the Deep Freeze should i still use it? Is there anything disadvantages using deep freeze, does it make my computer run slow?..need your ideas guys..thanks

Deep Freeze is great even if you don't use anti virus, you can restore your computer to the way it was nothing will be changed in your settings and files can't be altered.... about the firewall most anti virus now has firewall protection also...

I'm using an anti virus but my Windows' Firewall is up, as well. I guess it's better to be safe than be sorry.

Firewall is an essential thing to have even if you have a very good anti virus. Deep freeze is a good thing to have but if you feel that is using too much of your RAM memory than you have to look for other alternatives as there are other simple yet effective firewalls out there.

Is Zone Alarm a good program? :(

bammer

Thanks guys...ive never heard that Zone alarm before...is that a firewall?

sphinx

Yes, it's another firewall. I've been using it for a year until my license expired. Now I'm just using Windows' firewall.

To save money, just buy the Bitdefender Total Security. It is an antivirus and offers an internet security feature.
ZoneAlarm + Your Antivirus = Big Memory LOAD!

Hi guys! Isn;t firewall supposed to be for the internet and anti-virus for the computer only? Enlighten me please? And what's this deep freeze? I never heard of it honestly. Hope I can learn from you.
