AtGuard Firewall user looking for new application

I have been using atguard forever with xp sp1 but its time I need sp2
due to apps that require SP2 to install. That being the case atguard
will not work with XP SP2 and the atguard beta project is dead so I'm
stuck looking for a replacement personal firewall.

Ashampoo’s pro firewall is so far the leading contender but it still
lacks one feature if I use atguard as a baseline. That being the
ability to block an app based on an IP or domain. For those of you who
know atguard you know that its what creating a rule, the rule
assistant prompts you for:

* The current APP/Any App
* The current Port/Any Port
* The current Address/Any Address
* Gives the option to name the rule something other than filename.exe.

Eg:

I am looking for a firewall that offers this level of control when
defining an on the fly rule without the need to have to go into the
app and build a rule from scratch.

Can anyone make any recommendations?

I have heard of people using AtGuard wtih sp2 but so far it does not work on any install I have tried it on. When installed it stops all web traffic until you disable it.


Thanks.

 

I strongly suggest Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0. Works with SP2 and does everything you need it to do.
