Nod 32 antivirus - do I need firewall?

sticker · 2007-10-06 09:44:56

Hey all, Probably a dumbass quaestion, but I recently installed NOD32 2.7 antivirus, but I don't see a firewall setting within it... Does this software come with firewall or should I use XP - I'm prepared to buy a decent firewall if the XP Pro one is a bit lacking (which I've heard) I was thinking of investing in Sunbelt…

I was thinking of investing in Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall...

Thanks in advance

Nod 32 is a good anti virus but it has no firewall included , if you want a very good firewall give Comodo Firewall a try , its free and better than a lot of the paid for firewalls in my opinion .

I've gone with Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall - it seems pretty good, and has had some good writeups.

Thanks for the help all the same
