X-metal Mar 16, 2002, 02:53 PM [FONT=arial][COLOR=green] Is it true that there is a backdoor in blackice and if its true what firewall would you recomend! cheers:hdspin: Sgt. Dan Mar 16, 2002, 04:32 PM Personally, I would recommend Zone Alarm Pro with Local and Internet on High Security. Click here (http://www.zonelabs.com/) to visit the Zone Labs website. Also, check out this quick guide... http://www.cdrom-guide.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21982 X-metal Mar 16, 2002, 04:38 PM cheers! i tried zone alarm about a year ago! it drove me crazy with all of the block warnings! can it be comfigered to auto block like blackice! cheers:hdspin: :cool: Demo Mar 16, 2002, 06:12 PM The configuration of Zonealarm is easy. Personally I wouldn't trust BlackIce, it is no better than the one way efforts of MS in XP. I am not aware of a backdoor to BlackIce but then again who the hell needs a backdoor when the front door is wide open :) Sgt. Dan Mar 17, 2002, 03:52 AM Yes, it can be configured to auto-disallow and auto-allow. You can turn the warnings off but you still have to say Yes or No to all programs when you first install it. Good luck. X-metal Mar 17, 2002, 07:32 AM cheers iu will give it a go! slinkygnu Mar 20, 2002, 04:30 AM Use something like NeoWatch http://www.neoworx.com/products/neowatch/default.asp alongside Zonealarm for better protection. Zonealarm is one of the best available, but not perfect. Neowatch should pick up anything that Zonealarm misses. nokia_buyer Mar 21, 2002, 08:48 PM Yeah black ice has been criticised by many experts, and yes it has been known to have many security flaws..... |
