Anti-virus with interactive firewall

I am currently using Avg antivirus but am not too satisfied. The only reason that I am using it is its interactive firewall.

 

Is there any other AV with interactive firewall like avg?

ESET Smart security ( I never heard about it till I used it, it's awesome! )

Currently I'm only running malwarebytes though.

They pretty much all do, but you generally have to disable some "smart firewall" feature in the options to get the interactive firewall.

If you want a firewall that act like AVG, only ask you one time per software, from my own finding, Norton Security does it in a very similar way.

(incoming Norton bashing in 5...4...3..., say what you want, it still gets rated highly on independent AV tests(but they were totally paid off by Symantec isn't it :rolleyes: )

Kaspersky will ask you twice per softwares/games if you want it to access the web.(once the smart firewall is disabled)

 

Bitdefender will ask you once, like Norton and AVG, but it flat out failed within minutes on me every single time I tried it so I don't even recommend it to anybody. (either the custom SSL certificate blocks off my internet access completely or the software itself just crash out right on startup and refuse to work)

I know it works for others, but I just don't know why it never worked for me. Tried on 3 PCs in my home and it didn't work on any of them.

 

As for the others, haven't tried them yet.

I just started using Norton internet security and it has that feature. I can show you some screen shots if you like.
