Last time we asked for your favorite Antivirus software. About 40% (nearly 300 votes) of voters have choosen AVG FREE Antivirus. Another great finding was that 3 out of top 4 choices were free ones.

Today we want to run a similar poll and find out what’s your favorite firewall software. Or whether you have one at all.

Similar to Antivirus, Firewall has an essential role in keeping your PC secure from online threats. Unfortunately not many people realize that. So the purpose of this poll is to find out what is the most popular firewall software used by MUO users. Again, please vote !

According to eBay, Paypal and Gmail (amongst others), I have about five hack attempts a week made on my accounts. Last year it was around ten a week. I know this because after a certain number of failed password attempts, the website locks down the account and informs the account holder by email that there have been unsuccessful attempts to access the account. I’ve lost track of the number of times I have had to unfreeze my account and reset my password.
