Nvidia firewall shows too many inbound TCP packets blocked.

Linktothepast · January 3rd, 2008

I recently noticed that the nvidia active armor firewall that is activated on my Ethernet adsl connection reports ridiculously too many inbound packets blocked compared to the ones allowed to pass. They are actually 50% inbound packet's allowed and 50% blocked. Is this a reason to worry, start panicking and run any antivirus,and anti-spyware program there is out there? Here is a picture btw.

Well, I don't hear many good things about Nvidia's firewall.

The best thing to do is to remove the Nvidia Firewall

Nvidia is good for video cards and chipsets.

BTW, you should try Zone Alarm firewall since Windows (XP?) Firewall and nothing is almost the same.

use kaspersky > zone alarm. same engine, but better software.
