Hello:

I am getting a new Windows 7 computer and will try Microsoft Security Essentials as my anti-virus software.

I have been using McAfee, and it has one feature in it's firewall that I really like:
With just one mouse click I can instantly lock down all internet activity.

It's really handy when I'm recording. Nothing tried to update or anything else when I'm in the middle of a session.

Does anyone know if there is a standalone firewall program that would work with Microsoft Security Essentials that would give the me the feature of instantly locking down internet traffic?

Thanks for any suggestions.

John


If it was me I'd strip down the old computer of all progs except email, Internet and maybe a few other essentials. I'd relegate the new machine to just music related and totally keep it off the Internet.I have 4 machines set up for various tasks.I use Linux for anything Internet.
