I'm using Windows 7 and I was going to installed Online Armor, but it seems that is that compatible with Windows 7.

What firewall are you using in Windows 7 and which one will you recommend me?


~~~Thanks

You are correct; OA is incompatible with W7.

I recommend Outpost or the default Windows Firewall. In W7, the Windows Firewall does the job nicely.

I agree. I also have mine paired with Kaspersky internet security.

Zonealarm is the best firewall which is also compatable with windows 7.

The Windows 7 firewall is good enough for most users.

I don't have Windows 7 quite yet (16 more days! Big Grin) but once I get it, I will just use Windows Firewall along side Microsoft Security Essentials.

As n4q said, unless you need to do anything super-duper special, Windows Firewall will be just fine.
