Bye Bye Online Armor

[Flatlands]

While waiting what seems like forever for the tall emu to come up with a good Windows 7-64 bit firewall, I have moved on. Hello PC Tool a company who did foresee the future and develop a 64 bit firewall for those who chose to move forward. I am very disappointed with tall emu and Mike Nash for lagging behind

I've been using Windows Firewall with no problems whatsoever. But we each have our own choices.

Same here hellnoire.

That's right hellnoire.

I also use Windows fire wall. Never had any problems with it.

@ Flatland
I can understand you, even if I cannot blame TallEmu and Mike Nash for an issue related to x64 OS called PatchGuard.

I know that OA premium and OA ++ now has a partial support for Windows x64 and many people are working hard in order to get OA fully Windows Vista/Seven 64 bit compatible (Mike Nash announced this on Wildessecurity forum too)

I switched to PC Tools Firewall Plus 6 for other reasons anyhow.

LOL True

[grr]

Good option to switch to 32-bit..

[hellnoire]

grr... believe it or not, 64 bit is becoming very quickly the way to go. Thanks to Windows 7, there are a lot more people programming for the 64 bit platform. So to assume everyone should go back to 32 bits... that's nonsense.

Consider the perks of running 64 bit computers when it comes to gaming, developing, heck, doing anything in general.
