Solved: Firewall question
What do you guys recommend for a free firewall? Do you prefer Zone alarm or Comodo? I appreciate any positive responses.

Zonealarm free has terrible leaktest scores. I prefer Comodo.

if you're into leaktests then comodo is better as shown in the matousec website

and if you check out the comparison's between zonealarm products the free version doesn't offer that much compared to the others http://www.zonealarm.com/store/conte...comparison.jsp where as comodo gives you more for free.
