    Okay so here is the problem, Comodo slows down my shutdown from 10 second to like 5 minutes. Online Armor blocks my Online Game's Game Guard and causes it to restart the computer on its own. Jectico's interface is extremely weird. Is there a Free Firewall that will actually work correctly? =.=

    Its is decent. I find myself in the same spot. I am seriously considering AVG..its a purchase but a great product. Seems there isn't any one program that will JUST block/allow programs with no other help/blocking. Unfortunately a hardware firewall will not work for my situation.

    It would be...I said that to deter anyone from saying "You can just go setup a hardware firewall and forget this software stuff" without them realizing that I am not always at home.
