Hopefully your documents will open much faster after this. It’s probably the HIPS checking for malicious behavior, which is something I will address momentarily in your previous question. But this probably doesn’t have to do with system resources. Can a firewall slow down system performance? I have noticed since installing Kerio that when I try to open MS Word documents, it takes a good 45 seconds to open up.In reply to: A few questions by mmills820105 ![]() Are there any special settings I should have enabled in the firewall because of this?Īs you can probably see, I am not very savvy when it comes to firewalls, so any other input you might have would be appreciated. I am running Kerio on my laptop, which is connected to the web through my Linksys WRT54G router. I don’t get those with Kerio, so does that mean it’s not working properly? ![]() I used to receive pop-ups from Zone Alarm when certain applications were trying to access the internet (programs like Media Player). Is there any configuration I need to do after setup, or is it automatically configured correctly? I installed the Kerio Firewall and just have a few questions: An application firewall like Comodo will crumble under this attack, point blank. Then, they’ll ■■■■■ your WEP/WPA encryption, join your home network, and attack you from the inside. Once the bot reports to its master, one thing the master will do is scan the local airwaves, finding you. Someone around you will catch a worm sooner or later, and there’s a decent chance a Trojan will be in it. If you don’t believe me, try living at the rear of a cul-de-sac with four or five other WiFi networks in range of your own. The only technology with this capability is SPI, which is why it’s the one you’ll find in a hardware firewall. It makes little difference how good Comodo does in the leaktests it omits the one thing the firewall was originally invented for, and that’s keeping ALL intruders out at ALL times, not just when ports are closed and hidden. In reply to: i use commodo firewall by william1boyleĪfter the botnet outbreak in October, Comodo was on one of the many machines I disinfected. In reply to: Firewall Question by mmills820105Ĭommodo firewall is also a great firewall prevents ms dos attacks limits packets gives you the options to be in control of your pc highly recommended give it a try best wishes In reply to: Where could I find Blink Personal by unomix BeyondTrust So far the Kerio and Zonealarm pro version firewall are co-existing very well, but if you anticipate problems I will change back to Cyberhawk or Blink if I can find it In reply to: possible solution by santuccie It should also protect you from most hostile sites, which is my main concern. You will might want to take a look at Blink’s help files, as it is a bit more difficult to use than Cyberhawk, but it is in fact more HIPS than firewall, and less likely to get into a fight with Kerio. If Cyberhawk is incompatible with your system, I think Blink Personal might be an option. You should not have two software firewalls running at the same time. In reply to: Problem with Cyberhawk by unomix I never got any warnings when I tried to play my Pysol or even reinstall it just that nothing would happen.ĭo you have a preferences on anti virus programs and so you think my combo of Zonealarm and Kerio (the last two options turned off) is a viable or workable combination? I uninstalled Cyberhawk reinstalled Zonealarm with Kerio and all is fine now as far as my games are concerned. I never got any program notifications and could not find anywhere to allow my games to play. I installed Kerio and Cyberhawk as per your recommendations and some of my simple card games (Pysol solitaire)would not work or even reinstall.
