Comment: I have Kerio Firewall running on my computer but I heard that Comodo is better. Any comments? When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Reply: (edit)You can also do your own analysis by selecting what looks more suited to you and then running an online leaktest (firewall leakage tester) to put the software of your choice through its paces. Try this with your current firewall to see of it makes the grade. What they do is port scan and probe your pc to simulate intrusion attempts / successes, then when the scan is done they will give you the analysis in chart form so you can easily identify firewall weaknesses. Not trying to push my preference on to you but just would like to let you know I have run this scan with Zonealarm and I get an "all ports stealthed" result which is very good.

Reply: (edit)Hi Btk1w1. Thanx for your input. I have used Zonelabs Suite for a few years but did away with it about 4 months ago. Everytime I had a hickup with my computer I fixed it by disabling Zonealarm Secondly I was told that ZoneAlarm used a lot of resources when running. So yes I must say since I got rid of it my problems have been minimal. When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Reply: (edit)I did The Leaktest and two things happened. When Kerio asked to be permitted it went through. I did the test again and denied access. Leaktest could not connect to the internet. What do all of this mean? When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Reply: (edit)What you are meant to get is a graph showing the strengths and vulnerabilities in your systems firewall. I believe the format has been changed since I last run the test. I'll run the test myself to see if the same thing happens, but basically when I ran it last I allowed it through my firewall and the test ran itself.
