QUOTE(id86 @ Feb 10 2007, 08:23 PM) yeah...when it become powerful,all the program running will ask permission.even for simple one...this lead to waste of time even though get more security.hope firewall more user friendly but can give better security not only that  sometimes we dunno what kind of process is that, and accidentaly permit/block it... thats why i dislike Jetico Firewall which ask for every process permission |

QUOTE(id86 @ Feb 10 2007, 09:55 AM) how much powerful it is? can block all treat which try to get in and hack the comp?? I think it's quite powerful. I went to do GRC's Shields Up and managed to pass the test. Just that, it's not that user friendly like I mentioned here.  |

Firewall leak-tests results (matousec.com)
1. Comodo Firewall Pro 2.4.16.174 2. Jetico Personal Firewall 2.0.0.16 beta 3. ZoneAlarm PRO 7.0.302.000 Personally I think hardware firewall is a better option. It might only need to be turned on in your existing modem. |
