I'm really hesitant about downloading Comodo because I've skimmed the net and have seen user reviews stating that it takes up around 60% of your CPU without any reason mostly. Any thoughts?
Old Comodo versions have this issue... it came back some times, but their support work to solve them very quickly.

Does that mean it doesn't have crazy CPU issues anymore, Tech?

Not that I'm aware of. Are you using (testing) the version 2 or the beta 3?

I just recently downloaded the most up to date version. Though in the "About" section on Comodo it states that I have version 2.4.18.184... and certified applications database version 3.0.

version 2.4.18.184
This version is very stable on XP. I don't have problems with it (I use it in my XP computer).

I also have just downloaded the latest version of Comodo. I am impressed. It has changed from the older first early versions that were available to us. Now, I see that it is very user friendly and effective.  I was wrong in believing that it still was like it used to be. It has changed. Very nice program.

Finally found something to replace Kerio Sunbelt Firewall - Comodo  ;). Definitely happy that I downloaded Comodo now. It runs quite smoothly without any hassle in regards to anything so far.

Hi Lurkinatu2,

A little lurking of the forums would reveal this, http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=30808.msg256548#msg256548, starting from that post there is a lot about OA and not all of it good.

I really liked nothing about comodo....  :-X

Stuff I would look out for in a firewall:
1> Quick startup
2> Low resource Utilization
3> Ability to manually choose which protocols to allow and block (like with guarddog under linux http://simonzone.com/software/guarddog/#screenshots)
4> Be totally seperate from my Antivirus
5> Set it forget it. I dont mind if it asks a lot of questions during its 'training' period but once set up it should ask minimal questions.

When is the avast PF comming out neway?

hi, I quoted you "Ability to manually choose which protocols to allow and block (like with guarddog under linux http://simonzone.com/software/guarddog/#screenshots)". I know exactly what you meant because I'm a linuxer but what I can say to you. use pctools firewall because it's free and good. otherwise, I like best the look'n'stop firewall which I have a lifetime license, but both are not compared to the guarddog. I don't want to cause a flame about this subject because it depends upon someone's opinion and taste, but if you check the international tests you choose comodo personal firewall. but my opinion matches to you I'd rather to have something light resources and not with too many popups.it's a difficult choice. good luck! best regards.

Hi...

From the tiny bit of experience I have with Comodo (installed it for a customer,) it seems to be a nice firewall that from what I saw, worked well with avast. The list of options seemed impressive and it didn't bog their system too much upon bootup. I would use it myself, actually. :)

Best Regards...
