I might add that Zone alarm is ok but I hated it, to many questions all the time, comodo learns stuff by itself and have just a few questions whem you install, my son play wow no problem, µTorrent no problem, my daughter use limwire pro no problem etc. etc.

in a somewhat unsurprising development, Windows XP built in firewall fails every single test.

ZA has been annoying me lately with its constant demands to upgrade, so I might give this one a go. Nice find Bear

ZA keeps nagging you to upgrade because there is a new version to download and install, if you dont do it then it keeps checking and nagging.

So far I havent used any on line games, if I do I might switch.

Did checkpoint not buy ZA? Although checkpoints proper firewalls are the best in the world (And by a very long way), it would seem this isnt so highly regarded?

Ive used ZAP for years I know it well, so I wont be changing, but, it gave me errors months ago, I was advised my router is safe enough, but with the router firewall enabled ZAP has Blocked 138610 intrusions.
