  Version: Look 'n' Stop Personal Firewall 2.05

  "Unreliable Software"

  by Mike98 on October 9, 2006

  Pros: Easy to install and uninstall

  Cons: During install, Microsoft Windows reported, that Look 'n' Stop did not passed Windows XP Logo and that install can make the system unstable, so I clicked "cancel install" two times, but Look 'n' Stop still installed on my computer. Then I did NOT reboot, but immediate uninstalled Look 'n' Stop via control panel, because I don't want to take risks.

  Version: Look 'n' Stop Personal Firewall 2.05

  "Great Firewall!"

  by blablupp on September 25, 2006

  Pros: I used Jetico PRF because of its strenght and the fact that it consumed less than 10 MB of RAM. The problem with Jetico is that it can be quite noisy and ask for every windows process like svhost.

  This firewall is just as secure as Jetico and also as easy to use as Zone Alarm, but unlike zone alarm it consumes very little RAM (about 3-8 MB).

  If you want the best firewall for the money get Look n Stop!

  If you want the best free firewall get Jetico.

  Cons: It is not free like Jetico, but it is worth its price in performance and security.

  Version: Look 'n' Stop Personal Firewall 2.05

  "Superb Firewall"

  by Computerterry on October 30, 2006

  Pros: This is a first class firewall. The product runs light, and works well whether you are online without a Router, or as in my case, with a Router. Dont be put off by remarks about unsigned drivers; this is just Microsoft trying to get all companies to register with them. You can run it with advanced ruleset, and you can import already written rules for P2p if you desire. The support is first class-twice Ive had a personal message from the Author himself, and have had my query sorted.

  Ive tried all firewalls but always come back to Look n Stop. I cant recommend it highly enough. The licence is for life!!

  Version: Look 'n' Stop Personal Firewall 2.05

  "Outstanding Firewall with very low memory usage"

  by bigkatt74 on October 7, 2006

  Pros: This firewall is excellent. Dont take my word on it, go to firewallleaktester.com and you will see that it ranks above all others like ZoneAlarm Pro and dead even with Outpost Pro for outbound protection. Only jetico is higher, and not by much. This firewall uses 2 to 4 megabytes of ram on my system and offers one of the best application filters on the market. It is recognized in the XP security center also. This is a true No-Bloat firewall that is one of the best in the world today. Research it, load the enhanced rule set, and give it the 30 day trial run. Wilders Security Forum has it own section dedicated to this firewall and how to use it. Just google "LnS firewall English Forum at Wilders".

  Cons: A rule based firewall that is not for beginners. You need experience with creating rules to get it up and running on a home network.

  Cost is $39.

  Need to manually turn off the XP firewall.

  "The best."

  by mparcher on September 28, 2007

  Pros: This is the best firewall I've tried. I have tried everything but Jetico. I'm on the free sample version but will buy very soon. Zone Alarm is a system hog, unlike this. Look 'n' Stop is easy on my system. Stop and try the free sample and like the one review said, "research it, load the enhanced rule set, and give it the 30 day trial run." You will not regret it.

  Cons: None so far.
