Yes they do but during some updates it will now show a pop up advert.
Avast anti virus does the same.

Hello,

Norton Internet Security. Others may say it is slow but that was in the
past.

We have been using Veriaon Internet Security Suite for a few years,
but the tech support is aweful and the PC Checkup feature crashes my
computer during POST. Besides for our two PCs, it isn't such a great
bargain.
Any suggestions for a third party product. I see a few on line, but
there doesn't seem to be a clear winner

Browsers like in plural?

And like in shutting down the applications, not just the network connection?

At the moment I've got Comodo working in XP-Pro and Vista Business, both
with Firefox and IE so I wonder what differences in set ups we have...

I stopped using Zone Alarm as the newer versions were giving me a problem

but I have never had Avast give me a pop up of any type

I run both IE7 and Firefox. I use Tbitrd for mail.
I don't use the IE that much, but need it for cetain sites which
mandate its use.

I installed comodo and all i could get from the two browsers was
"Connection terminated"
the email seemed to continue t operate. I disabled all the settings on
the comodo I could find with no improvement.
but uninstalling comodo resolved. I'll tell you my settings if you
want! which ones?

I get a kick out of the way people just ignore the questions asked and
go on and on with their own egos but never bother to come back to the
actual question that was asked. Dumb.

Anyway, yes, the firewall is still free. Go to zonealarm.com and click
the compare all products link, which will take you to
http://www.zonealarm.com/security/en...e-software.htm
where you can download the free version.

The ease of use of ZA is great and it's a learning firewall. As it
starts it asks you about every in/outgoing connection, you tell it yay
or nay, and it creates a rule for it and never asks again. You can tell
it to either allow, deny, allow once, or keep asking. You can add your
own rules, etc, and control whether each program you have can access the
web or not. I like that because if I accidentally click a link in a
document, having no intention of even acessing the web, ZA will catch it
and give me a chance to set a rule for it. Or you can list them all and
set each one manually. Very handy, IMO.
Downside: Will not co-exist with Norton firewall. Neither one will
allow the other to be installed. They have some kind of agreement to
disagree, apparently.

Sounds like oleary's experiencing something his namesake is so well
known forg. I'll let it go at that.

HTH,
