Still needs work
Pros: Installs nicely on Vista and seems to work ok. Usual interface and just as customisable as previous versions.
Cons: Blocked all ports when trying to use Azureus P2P and couldn't fix it. It's overzealous in it's blocking. After I uninstalled ZA everything was ok again. As usual there are no guidance notes on allowing or not allowing program access in the popup menu? Needs more work to get it to function properly with Vista. Am using the Vista built in firewall for now.
Your Cons are misleading and untrue.
Your cons are not true. After installation, the software give all newbies the option to follow a tutorial that helps and eases the configuration process. You could easily with the click of a mouse firewall for any program on your computer. One could easily block or allow program to the internet or the trusted zones.
This program is so easy to configure, I found it hard to believe that poor review like yours isn't the results of malicious intention. What would your ulterior motif here?
Thank you for the informative review
I believe this reviewer's ulterior motive (not motif) here is to impart useful infomation based on HIS experience with the product. I notice you put down almost everyone here who had issues with this product. I don't think there has been a piece of software created that doesn't have a glich or two. Your implication that this software is flawless and everyone who has problems with it are idiots makes me wonder what your MOTIFS are.
