Happy Voting!

When they start to support 64-bit OS I will check it out. Until then it's a no-go for many years for me.

I'm checking for a free firewall currently after uninstalling the last paid AV/FW package I was using. The 1 year license renewal cost was almost the same as buying the product in a store so it went out the door. Comodo looks good, I will for certain try it.

Currently using MSE but I'm not entirely happy with it. It's pretty smooth and easy to use/install, but uses huge amount of memory and it doesn't seem to update its antivirus definitions very often.

I asked this on the "Definitive Best Antivirus 2009" thread, but now, it's the Firewalls turn.

What's the lightest Firewall (both paid and free) out there right now?.

Thanks.

Comodo?! I knew about it, but I couldn't imagine that it will be rated as number 1. Personally I use Eset and Windows built-in firewall.

Using the built-in Windows Firewall is just asking for trouble! I dont know why Microsoft even bother.
