I like using the Comodo firewall. IMO it is alot better than Windows
Firewall.

'Free Firewall Protection Software Best Firewall Computer Security Free
Personal Firewall'

Just remember to close it before you install a new program. After
clicking 100 times at the "OK" button to let some file access internet
you get tired. Be sure to shut down Comodo before you install the new
program, or you might be in an endless loop of letting Comodo access
internet with no way of stopping it.

LOL Dag,

Yeah, getting things setup takes a few approval clicks. Especially
when you have it set it Paranoid mode like me.

IMO it is a lot better than apples.

Comodo Firewall is a promotional tool and therefore your post could
well be considered spam.


Now, since the topic here is security, please explain how adding a big
chunk of vulnerable code asking nonsense questions to your system
could possibly increase security?

Hi Straight Talk,

Comodo Firewall is completely free, so I do not consider this spam.

I find that it protects my computer better than Windows Firewall
because of all of the approval questions before it allows the action
versus Windows Firewall not doing so.

To each their own I suppose. There are plenty of firewall programs out
there that are great. Some free, and some not. If you have a favorite,
then please share with the rest of us.

Thank you,
Shawn

Most commercials happen to be "completely free"...

You are acting based on feelings instead of facts. Marketing seems to
be doing a great job.

yes there is

>that are great.

absolutely not

I don't have a favorite. I don't add complexity to my system for no
good reason. Adding code does nothing to increase security.
Hardening/fixing what needs to run, on the other hand, does.
