Comodo Personal Firewall Review

Comodo technologies is renowned for their security products and comodo Firewall is no different.Its a very good firewall and monitors every bit of your system.Here is how I evaluated it-

Platform
Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4, Intel Pentium 4 2.66 GHz, 768 MB of RAM, and 128 MB ATI Radeon 9200.
THE GOOD
   1. All unused ports are hidden.
   2. Tracks Everything in network traffic both inbound and outbound.
   3. Runs a background Windows service with a client application that lets you interact with the service in order to view reports or adjust the settings, for example.
   4. Warns about every program which tries to access Internet or network resources,especially useful in case of Trojans.
  5. Provides a wizard to scan all computers in a network.
   6. Autoupdate enabled.
   7. Summary view, which is the default screen you see when opening the application, displays usage of the network resources so that you can know your computer’s status at a glance.
  8. Gives the user the power to define minute and strict rules for network communication.
   9. Keeps logs for later inspection.
  10. Simple user interface with nice colors.
  11. Technical support is available through emails in addition to a community forum.

THE BAD
   1. NO Password protection,everybody has access to main control panel.
   2. Defining Rules or filters for network access is very hard as compared to other paid firewalls.
   3. Scanning Wizard is not so intutive as norton Firewall.
   4. The auto-update feature is only accessible from the program’s main window ie each component of Comodo has its own autoupdate feature.

Conclusion
Comodo Firewall is a world class protection suite for ur PC for FREE !!!
