WinPatrol 2007

Version: 12.2.2007

Good dog!

Pros: While looking for software to add to my computer's defense system, I came across both the COMODO firewall and WinPatrol on the same day. I looked through the descriptions of both programs, and figured that the firewall would cover everything that WinPatrol had to offer, so I left Scotty outside.

Recently, I downloaded WinPatrol out of curiosity and sure enough, curiosity kills those sneaky cats. Scotty does a great job at alerting me about changes in my computer and asks if I want to keep them. It stopped a pesky adware program that would've changed my browser's homepage, and showed me some hidden processes that belonged to old, uninstalled software.

Don't get me wrong, though. COMODO is a great firewall program that has its own strengths, but don't be fooled into thinking that WinPatrol doesn't have anything to offer to your computer's arsenal against security threats.

Cons: Where's Pinky?? :(

Comodo Firewall Pro

Version: 3

I feel safer already!

Pros: Still in the process of figuring out what does what, but since I got COMODO, my antispyware program has been out of a job (no new threats found).

I particularly enjoy that COMODO has counted and blocked 1229 (and growing) intrusion attempts since I connected to the internet today.

Cons: You haven't gotten it yet.

Comodo Firewall Pro

Version: 3.0.25.378

Still great!

Pros: I've always trusted Comodo to keep my PC safe from internet threats. It's the first thing I download when I reformat my hard drives. I don't understand why other people have had problems when they installed the firewall. For me, the installation is always smooth, and it's hard not to appreciate the convenient little malware scan that the program offers when it first starts. This program is a rock-solid defense against the many dangers of the internet, and it puts the default Windows firewall to shame on so many levels. I wouldn't surf the internet without it.

Once your firewall gets to know your computer a little, it's smooth sailing.

Cons: None!
