Fire Wall Question
I recently upgraded to AVG8 from their free version. Evidently the new version includes a firewall. I have Zone Alarm Pro as my firewall already.
I started wondering about the implications of 2 firewalls and went to a popular board to see what people had to say. There seems to be a consensus that one should not run more than one firewall, but no rational is given (there is a quasi rationale given for having a hardware and a software firewall).
I would like opinions from this board - as I consider it staffed and read by a more professional group.
I do not think I have ever had a problem with ZA-Pro, but - who knows?
I shut down AVG8's firewall - which caused AVG to shout in protest.
My question is "should one only run 1 firewall product if one does not have a hardware router system"?
Any comments on AVG8 vs ZA-Pro would be appreciated.
Tom
