Nevi Posted November 19, 2009 ID:159809 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi guys...I know you probably get a ton of questions like this,but I am in doubt,and would like to know,so I try.I use NOD32 with a hardware firewall(NAT router). I use Windows firewall too,because I have found out it stealths the hardware firewall.Then I have the retail version of MBAM with active protection on test at the moment,and I definately want to buy it when the trial is over.I saw in this forum it would be a good idea to use Spywareblaster as well,although I use Firefox,so I use that too.Now the big question for me,is this enough,or do I need a software firewall?I have heard so many different opinions about it,so now I wanna try to find out.If you can throw a little light over this controversial question I would be very happy.Thank you for a great product.

If you have the Protection Module running and you did not purchase a license for it then you have an illegal pirated version.It is always best to have a Firewall that monitors both inbound and outbound traffic.

If you didn't purchase a license it's an illegal copy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted November 19, 2009 Root Admin ID:159831 Share Posted November 19, 2009 The Windows firewall on XP does not monitor outbound traffic. You would need a 3rd party firewall to monitor outbound traffic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevi Posted November 19, 2009 Author ID:159910 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Thank you for your help.I had a feeling I had to get one,but I tried to avoid it,because of the resources,but better safe than sorry.I have chosen Online Armor free,it seems to be solid.
