I use online armor free right now, it has a perfect score in leak tests and I like it but I think I've been getting conflicts so I'll probably go back to comodo once CPF 3 final comes out, I used to use CPF 2.4.

I'm seriously considering Comodo free firewall to see how it works.

Have installed it and I like the way it works. Even got it working with a p2p app (port forwarding required, which was simplicity itself)

Hi www.pc-repair.ie
I have had ZoneAlarm Security Suite for the last couple of years and am very happy with it.What few problems I have had have been solved by online ZoneAlarm help, which are very responsive and as far as I can tell, unless something provokes me into thinking of anoth suite (ie.comparison reviews by a reputable source) I will probabley stick with it.
Regards Paula

you pay for the suite yea?

Since this poll, I've installed Commodo, it's good.
The only thing I don't like is when it asks a question, and then sometimes (depends on the application) it could have 20! questions. Try commodo with utorrent, it's insane.
I had to google it, and find out how to just say yes to all questions.

Other than that, it seems to keep the bad guys out

Maybe when CPF v3 comes out it won't ask as many questions.
