I use Online Armour Free on XP.
Private Firewall 7 on 7:
https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/privatefirewall.html
On 10 I think I have Tiny Firewall 2.1.8. They all allow
me to restrict by process.
I use Sygate Personal Firewall on my XP machine to keep programs from
calling home.
Which simple firewall can I use on My Win 7 Pro comp to keep proggies
from sending out info?
I'm not looking for complexity. Just something simple.
I don't trust most "free" stuff like Comodo, etc., because that crap
in more spyware than protection.
Thanks.

I have used Zone Alarm version 9.2.102.000 on W7 for years.
I've checked out others and always come back to the old ZA.
Don't bother with any ZA newer than that. IMO it's become spam, sales, >collect all your info, wear since then.
What you listed is what I use it for.

Outpost Free 2009 is what I used back then. I used to use Kerio Personal >Firewall, but it kept blue screening.

Do you run ZA with Windows 7 firewall on or off?

I almost forgot, the initial install also has a garbage ware option so
be sure to not install it. Pull the plug on the web before installing.
Let it auto find all the programs. You can change options later.
I ALWAYS have ZA running. You can set it for individual items. If I
install software I use ZA to turn off the internet first. Used to use
ZA on XP too but forgot the version number.
I've cross checked with WireShark, tcpview, cports, etc, and ZA seems to
be secure. It does not call home unless you specifically let it.

I always check for add-on junk when installing. Although, I don't
trust they always are going to tell you the truth. That's why I do a
System Restore and a registry save with Erunt before installing new
stuff. And, if the program is a really "complicated" one that could
wreak havoc, I do an AOMEI backup of the C: to an external HD drive.
This has saved me more than once. It ain't that I couldn't afford some
shop to put Windows back on a wreaked box, but re-installing tons of
proggies back onto the C: is one of the biggest p.i.a. deals ever.

My question was: Do you keep Widows 7 firewall running with ZA? I
know they say you shouldn't do that, but I do this with my XP firewall running concurrently with Sygate and there doesn't seem to be any
problem.

I also did try both of those in the day, but Win 7 is a different
animal.

For my 64-bit W7 HPE (we're in Windows XP newsgroup), I used PC Tools >Firewall v7.

Tiny Personal Firewall is what I use for the same purpose.
Super simple and does the job.
