Automated firewall

Zirax · 21-02-2010, 22:49

Does anyone know of a granddad friendly firewall? What I mean by this is a free firewall that does not involve pop ups. Commodo and Zonealarm both do this. For example if firefox auto updates, both generate a new "confirm to access the net" as the .exe file has changed.

Really I am after something to run in the background that will not pop up unless there is something incoming. If it does pop up then it will cause him to call my uncle (who also isn't great) and together they'll pull their hair out. Any ideas?
