1- Comodo with Defense+

2- Comodo without Defense +

3- Emsisoft online Armor

4- Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro 7.5.2 (3939.602.1809)

5- Agnitum Outpost Free 6.5 (2725.381.687.328)

6- PC Tools Firewall Plus 7.0.0.123

7- ZoneAlarm 10.1.101.000

8- other

I think in overall tests comodo will be better but in performance Online Armor is great. that so light :showoff:

Comodo with Defense++, not sure about Online Armor. But comparing to other firewall software which are paid versions, Comodo as FREE version does a pretty nice job in alerting and protecting. It is without doubt a very good programme.

I am using Private Firewall now. Less annoying pop-up after 7 days training period. They still keep developing and make improvement every release :thumbsup:

Light and compatible with most AV/Suite and ITS FREE. Never look back to another.

OA also offer free but they don't play nice with my current setup.

Other:

LookNstop or Windows in built with firewall control

I do not see a single standalone firewall in the list of 8 (unless 'Other' is supposed to be an invisible group hug.) :)

Not sure what you mean by stand alone, but Online Armor Premium is the best firewall I've ever come accross.

I'm using it myself and it's brilliant. Very easy to block programs you don't want phoning home B)

Firewall, Web Sheild, Program Guard and Anti-Keylogger all in one light package :D

I'm using it with Eset AV and no problems.

Hell, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say MD. XD

Classical HIPS + patience + brain + reading comprehension = unparalleled protection*

What is meant by Classical is that it has no whitelist. Nothing is trusted. This is different from, say, Defensewall, as it doesn't assume non-trusted, but always asks. :)

It's so versatile, you can make template rulesets, program groups, etc. to control all aspects of program functioning. And it has a firewall featuring full outbound/inbound control, a process analyzer, startup analyzer, registry browser, and much more (should anyone be interested, I'll gladly help with anything MD related, spreading the love! XD). Oh, and it's properly maintained and free. Oh, yeah, just in case someone freaks out - this is NOT the malicious Malware Defender 2009. It has been around for much longer.

*all three required for Malware Defender to work

Comodo without Defense +

I need only basic app control. And works great with NOD32 and Avast (separately, of course :) )

Regular users should stay with Windows firewall!

Totall agreed.

I like your setup incl. (Rollback Rx|Sandboxie|SUA|UAC|Applocker|WFC). We could talk about this kind of setup, I mean security setup based on Windows Built-in features and in Depth Security Model. It's really interesting.

Cheers.

I like Seagate firewall best, light and efficient...unfortunately it was bought by a bigger firm and discontinued, don't u just hate it!...

The last version only supports WinXP, no Win7 version available..

I tested today : Windows 7 Firewall Control, Windows Firewall Control and Tinywall.

I really like Tinywall. There a no popups ! By default all traffic is blocked apart some allowed Windows services (DHCP, DNS, Windows Update and so on...) and then you can whitelist by process / executable or windows what you want.

Really cool.
