Publisher's description of PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 3.0.36

From PC Tools:

PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition is a powerful personal free firewall for Microsoft Windows that protects your computer from hackers and intruders. Firewalls control the network traffic in and out of your PC by monitoring applications that connect to the network. Firewall Plus can stop Trojans, backdoors, and keyloggers from damaging your computer and stealing your private information. PC Tools Firewall Plus is advanced technology designed specially for people, not experts. Powerful prevention against attacks and known exploits is activated by default and advanced users can also easily create their own packet filtering rules to customize the network defenses. The program is recommended for use alongside of AntiSpyware and Antivirus software like AVG or Spyware Doctor to protect PC against Spyware, hackers, worms, and viruses.

Version 3.0.0.36 adds new smart Application Rules, Stealth Mode protection, and data validation using SPI.

"Compatable with other software"

by purrfect davy on May 28, 2008

Pros: I have running guisofts virus checker and PC tools spyware Doctor and system mechanic, they bind perfectly well together with no conflict.
I found other firewalls even though may be rated higher tend to have too many settings long winded in asking over and over the same questions. I am running XP Home and connect to the internet with a cable modem. PC Tools firewall plus is perfect for my usage.
