  Support from Tall Emu rivals the best I've ever seen!

  by: Charles K on 10-Jul-2008 06:51:11 AM

  Pros: Installed on my XP Pro system & threw everything I could find at it with a 100% test score! It's Comodo with a brain! But I'm using the paid version thanks to the great folks @ Tall Emu. The paid version has won many awards including "Best Firewall for 2008". It effectively passed every single leak test I could find but remembers my settings. For an XP system, this is #1 in every way.

  Cons: I can't comment on the free version but the paid upgrade is impossible to fault with the exception of "not Vista compatible". I can't wait for a Vista version.

  You gotta PAY for more protection...

  by: rrtopaz on 02-May-2008 08:32:41 AM

  Pros: it's free because of what little you get...

  Cons: you have to upgrade and PAY for additional protection if you do online banking, anti-phishing filter, e-mail protection, web protection, spoofing shield, online support, etc.etc.etc....go to their comparison page at their website!

  Probably the best free firewall you will get!

  by: andyinteractive on 24-May-2008 05:29:24 PM

  Pros: Most free firewalls are either full of pop-ups or nagging reminders to buy the full product. Armor however gives you optimum protection and without the annoying pop-ups and nagging flash displays of which attempt you to buy the full product. This software is as effective...but as easy going as you can get for a decent firewall. The interface is as basic as you can get with absolutely no frills and although it may sit silently in the background...be assured that the alerts can be quite active. Twinned with 'winpatrol' this software gives great everyday protection and is far more effective than most other free firewalls. This is a superb professional firewall that definately concentrates on doing it's job and it does it very well.

  Cons: This is not a dislike as such...BUT if you are using Kaspersky anti-virus, make sure that if you use Armor firewall...that the 'pro-active' defense (defence)is disabled otherwise it will clash with this software. (always best to check software compatabilities!)

  Excellent Free program

  by: mikeskid on 24-Apr-2008 08:33:21 AM

  Pros: It really monitors everything that goes on.

  Cons: However, I'm finding the constant pop ups annoying. But, it's good to know that the program is really on the ball.

  Very-Good Firewall

  by: nighttracker on 07-May-2008 09:14:46 PM

  Pros: There are many (free) firewalls out there. Some, are not worth thier weight in Gold.This is a pretty decent firewall for free.It beats alot of the others by a long-shot in;that it is representative of one of the best firewalls that you will ever find,The "Full Version" of Online Armor.There is no free version firewall anywhere that is going to give you the true security that you deserve or might expect but,this one does come close...If you want a full fledged secure PC,download the Trial version of Online Armor from the web-site ie. DaDaDa.onlinearmor.com Now and then,You will see and taste what a "Great Firewall" is all about.Its actually amazing to see just what has gone into this product inorder to provide a firewall that, I would put up against all comers.Very well built and I personally plan to $purchase$.atleast...Check-It-Out!
