jems 4 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Hi there. Is Nod 32 compatible with MBAM FREE. Is Nod 32 compatible with zone alarm FREE firewall? Or is windows firewall good enough. Thanks - this is a good forum.
TomFace 539 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Hello jems, MBAM no problem-been using ESS with MBAM Prem for years. https://forum.eset.com/topic/5737-do-i-need-an-anti-malware-with-nod32/ zone alarm free-no idea. I've heard Win firewall + NOD is ok. I used ESS for years-No issues. Edited August 26, 2015 by TomFace
jems 4 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 thanks TomFave, appreciate the help. I have had many S. Suites over the years. Decided to go with a proven (Nod32) antivirus. Thot w. firewall was getting better ratings. I have a wireless router - maybe that is enough firewall? MBAM Free is something i have used now & then. Thanx again.
TomFace 539 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Might want to review this just as an FYI. I have not used the Windows firewall in years (as I use ESS), so I'll reserve judgement. hxxp://www.howtogeek.com/122065/htg-explains-i-have-a-router-do-i-need-a-firewall/ Edited August 26, 2015 by TomFace
Administrators Marcos 5,451 Posted August 26, 2015 Administrators Posted August 26, 2015 If you want to use a firewall, go for ESET Smart Security (ESS) instead of ESET NOD32 Antivirus. ESS is an integrated security solution where other components can communicate with the ESET firewall and vice-versa which makes it more effective in terms of antivirus protection with lower resource consumption compared to having antivirus and firewall as separate applications.
