Block those Callers!

Pros: I've been using this freeware program since 2003, and now finally you can block by name only or both. Didn't have that feature. I block all long-distance, out of area, private, unknown .. If you're not on my list then you just can't get in even if you press *82 before you number. Local callers can get in..

I use this program along with YAC Caller ID Server which comes with client software to install on wired and wireless devices on your network. Amazing it works! Phone Tray can talk in a female voice telling you who's calling you can set it up and change cell phone caller to Bob is Call from his Cell. And Phone Tray will would say that out loud. What I like you can leave those real callers who are a pain in the neck some rough messages, but you really have to stop them from calling you about buying junk you don't need.

Cons: Would like to be able to have the CSV that it stores the calls in better sorted so you could actually use the info. Good to look up names and phone numbers, that you can't remembered.

Okay if you don't have a lot of programs and stuff in the system tray..

Pros: It does protect..

Cons: But maybe too much causing other programs that are needed to protect the PC not to load in the system tray.I have one PC where it told that Comodo could tell if there was any inbound TCP traffic but their was activity going on. So what comodo did was block all TCP inbound connections on me. After I made rules it had said was okay and everything was working until I saw block all ports for not reason.

I was using Armor2net for years now but after review by one of these security online research tested all the freeware and commercial grade firewalls. Mine was on the bottom of the list.

Comodo came in 4th... So I am testing the one that came in first and so far Online Armor Firewall (Free version) is much different than any firewall I've tested since Firewalls were available online.

So let's see how this goes, it's active network scanner and watch dog tells you what connections are inbound and what country it is by their FLAG, not bad.
