[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 846272"] Against external attacks most consumer firewalls aren't very protective and generally are just simple nat but they will do act as a basic low end lock on the front door from inbound. Also, WFW isn't going to protect systems from lateral movement across a network/workgroup/subnet. For that you need L7 rules with protocol awareness. I don't think a lot of AV suites offer a true third party firewall that isn't a boosted WFW.. What remains? GData, Norton, ZoneAlarm, Comodo, Panda, ESET.. Do Kaspersky, Bit Defender, AVIRA, and Bullguard still have stand alone firewalls not part of WF? I don't use suites without a tweakable firewall in that isn't based off WF. [/QUOTE]
