Good Free Firewall?

[Galskygge]

Thanks.  I like this one so far and my pages even seem to load faster now.

Sounds like you're doing good then .

If I remember right drhayden1 used to use WDF, maybe Dan will give his opinion.

used to use it when it was first released as a paid version and my subscription ran out...then i went to the pctools free one then the comodo free one and then the pctools free one and still using it and happy with it so far again---so why should i go back to the webroot "now free one" AGAIN

[drhayden1]

uninstalled pctools firewall and trying out the webroot firewall i had once before...seems good as before-time will tell

[drhayden1]

changed a-little bit since i used it....
put both internet and  network security security on high and process monitor on high also
and took if off training mode

And now you'll get bombarded with questions asking to allow access.

should i leave it on training mode then BOB 
and probably the reason that the webroot firewall is free now is probably because of their rival pctools one is free and also of the comodo one too

Will it stay free forever? Or this is another example of freeware (beta) that will become shareware?

Only time will tell.

Haha, I found this funny:

Usage License:
You have the right to use and install one licensed copy of Webroot Desktop Firewall per computer.  If you intend
to install Webroot Desktop Firewall on additional computers, you will need to
obtain additional licenses. For more details, please read the full license
agreement included with the installation program displayed during setup.

OMG, like I ever wanted to install 6 copies of this firewall on my computer (it says "per computer" not "per customer")

I'm using CFW. It runs very smooth. It's in spanish, i translated it,hehehe.
And is the best in matousec tests.
Why Webroot FW doesn't appears in Matousec tests??

hi bob3160, i used ccleaner to clean out registry before installing Webroot Firewall, and when i run webroot installation, it still warns me that comodo is installed
I'm confused, what can i do?

johnny223. You might go to start, then search. Then where it may say to check for all files etc, type in comodo and tell it to search. If it finds any comodo enteries you then can see if you can delete them. This is a start. Might have to go further?

I tried that too, but still no luck sigh....

[drhayden1]

CCleaner is not a registry cleaner.
Use Regedit or one of the commercial registry cleaners.
