I have just recently switched to Online Armor firewall and I have to say, it's great.

Dont I tried it. It will slow your pc down like crazy. My boot time increased by 20 seconds. I even tried Outpst and with Outpost you cannot access certain sites. Stick with Comodo its free and the best. Very light on resources.

Dude Look & Stop is horrible and its cost. Check this link out. Look & Stop got a poor rating.

I want that link. :]

Serioulsy at http://www.firewallleaktester.com/tests.php it's not that bad. Yeah it cost a little but it's small and it does its job properly. Oh btw I'm behind a router too.

Might try Comodo again after reading this thread ...

How are people getting on with Comodo version 3 RC1 ?

Im trying it with Vista Ultimate and apart some random Comodo crashes it seems good.

Ive disabled the Defense+ , it was slowing down my computer a bit....i just kept the default vista alternative running. I might try it again after the final release which is set to next week.

I just started using Comodo Firewall 3.0, and it looks nice.

I need to know though, if I accidentally click 'remember my option' when a program asks for access, how to I revert back so that whenever that particular program need access Comodo will ask me for it again?

Outpost Pro ... Looks quite good and I see it gets good marks on testing, but some people report browser slowdown and that it's almost "too secure" ..

Anyone here experience browser slowdown issues with Outpost Pro ? Does it lag your pc as much as ZA Pro ?, Any other drawbacks to look out for ?

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By seacaptain · Posted

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

      not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
