  Webroot Firewall IS another Very-Good protection System

  by: nighttracker on 24-Apr-2008 10:58:26 AM

  Pros: This firewall is straight up in presenting a truly good protection for anyone's PC.There is no "Gimmics" with this program as with most offers.anyone that belittles this firewall is neither computer savyor outright communist plotters.Sure there are bigger firewalls on the market if, you want 20 programs crammed into one..But for just simple good protection,This one is Hard to beat...

  Cons: i have had no real opurtunity to test the firewall itself in a real attack situation, i do know that other firewalls such as avast perform well in an attack but i dont knwo abotu this one yet.

  Fantastic Firewall! Easy to use and light on resources!

  by: fadi789 on 06-May-2008 04:37:28 AM

  Pros: This firewall is absolutely fantastic! I've done some tests and it seems to make the computer completly invisiable.

  The firewall is very easy to use and everybody can work with it.

  It's very light on system resources compared to other firewalls such as Comodo and ZoneAlarm and this is the most important thing in my mind. You won't notice it's running because it's so light! On my machine it uses only 5.5MB of RAM!!!

  The interface is quite good (although it can be improved to make it more beautiful) and easy enough to use.

  Now Webroot gives free keys for this program on their website.

  What more could I ask for? It's absolutely the best firewall I've used!

  Cons: So far none. Hurry and get this amazing firewall!
