Anyone try the free Comodo firewall?

I need one. How is it?

I have not tried it; it is not really Vista-ready yet. You might check here for more information.

 

i reccomend look n stop for a great vista firewall its super light and is rock solid.

 

Well, I downloaded and tried the grc.com leak test. All appears to be well. I love free stuff!

 

Wow, thanks for that. Comodo passed with flying colors! It's not only free, it has the highest rating of ANY firewall!

PS Prior to doing a last minute Google search I was about to purchase the Sunbelt Personal Firewall. It's rating, poor!

 

Always verify the version tested is the same as the version you install. These products tend to vary a bit version to version.

 

Yeah, I use Comodo too. It's so much better than the Zone Alarm free version.

 

I want to use comodo firewall pro for vista but it's not out yet.I have to wait till version 3.0.

 

yup me too! I'm waiting for the 64bit version too so I may have to wait a little longer I used to use Comodo on XP and I couldn't fault it at all. It's a great program for free.

 

The version 3.0 will support vista, and 64bit. In case you want to know where i got the info from, i got it from the release schedule on their site forums.

 

nice one thanks for the info! I have to say it's been a few months since I last checked. Tho I did sign up to their email notification for when a 64bit vista compatible version is released but hadn't received anything from them yet!

*edit just realised the email was for notification for when the free version supports vista 64bit.. I'll have to check their website again..

 

I have used CF for about a year in the past and I must say, it is the best firewall that I have ever used (apart from ZoneAlarm and Sygate). It's basically commercial-quality software for free. I would definitely recommend it.

 

Comodo free is free, and so is comodo pro...i'd go with comodo pro if i were you. Though i don't know if there really is a difference. Which non-free one are you talking about?

 

Comodo's firewall and BOClean are great apps and I recommend both of them.

They are solid and protect well. No-non-sense and relatively light weight.

 

ah probably just me being a muppet ... but ignoring the fact I'm an eejit lol I just checked their website and on the firewall section I'm looking at I see this..

Pre-Register for the upcoming Free Vista Firewall
Please enter your email address so that we can inform you when the Vista compatible version of Comodo Firewall Pro is available for download:

which is what I'd done.. where are you seeing v3? could you post a link please?

 

You've done the second one, and i don't really know what they mean by pre-registering because it means exactly the same thing.

Anyway v3 hasn't come out yet, but there a release schedule on their website.

It should come out in as soon as a few weeks, and the latest by the end of the year like FF3. Heh, kinda funny how they're both v3.

 

I love comodo. It seems to use less resources then Zone Alarm. It has a better interface too, imo

 

I'll tell you what. I just noticed something different about the release date thread. It states v3 is being released some time in November.

I find it a little over-restrictive even after defining exceptions. I suppose your safe though but sometimes annoying.

 

Well better safe than sorry i say. =\

 

Aww. So no version for Vista yet? Guess ZA will do for now.

 

I'm sticking with the default vista firewall for now. It'll come out in November so it's not a long wait.

 

I'm running PC Tools FireWall Plus V2 because it allows for blocking outgoing connections without herculean efforts.
