Hello. I have tried both firewalls, and I'm currently using PC Tools. PC Tools is definitely simpler, with a lot less alerts, but Outpost has HIPS, a behavior shield, and a URL blacklist which Avast 5 Free won't have. I was wondering which of the two you recommend I use. I'm not the most advanced user yet, since I'm still in college to get a computer science degree, but I have enough experience to handle Outpost I think. Thanks.
