A fresh "Best Firewall" poll for 2007. Please use this as a reference when researching Firewall utilities. As time goes on, the poll can be updated to add further options.

Due to limitations of IPB - this will be seen as 3 polls. Select the Firewall program you wish to vote for, and choose N/A in the other polls.

Happy voting!

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 ?

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Save 44% on Intuit QuickBooks Desktop Pro Plus 2024 (1 User for 1-Year)

      By fingletmein · Posted

      Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
