It shows the info for Windows 7 users I understand but I have XP which I am happy with. Anywho, spent good bucks on this, so hope it works (I've had miserable experiences with shareware and such..

byte_king Posted July 9, 2011 ID:451345 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I can say from personal experience that MBAM is the real deal, my friend. It rocks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I previously used Comodo Firewall 2.4 it would show "activity" and where the hits were coming from (the IPs at least, most from China), which I found nice. I use Windows XP Firewall now and I get no notification of anything from that firewall...i.e. GUI that shows what's happening and who is probing...

Many experienced users believe that XP's SP3 firewall is inadequate. I share in that belief.The Microsoft OS logs for XP's firewall might be helpful. MBAM's easily accessed logs will be helpful in that the IP addresses are stored till deleted. If MBAM reports outgoing IP-BLOCKS, I recommend these be looked at with some urgency. If you're seeing incoming IP-BLOCKS, perhaps your overall protection may need rethinking.HTH Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
