i play COD 4 online , on a wireless network ( i know it slows it down) , and i used to have Kaspersky 7 and i lagged whenever there was an airstrike ! now iam using KASpersky inetrnet security 2009 and it seems to be even slower for gaming , so i was wondering whats a good firewall that wont slow online gaming so much , i wont leave my pc unprotected by not using a firewall , whats your advice
If you're on a network you don't really need a firewall, the router should act as one. I have Comodo firewall, but only use it at school/public places, at home I have it off (due to router; if plugged directly to modem, of course I have it on).
As neontiger said, routers have inbuilt firewalls, and when you are gaming online, you can turn any firewall software you have off, which is what i recommend doing, the chances of you getting a virus through online play are tiny.
