Online Armor, unless you're running 7 with a 64 bit system. Then you'll have to wait until the middle of next year

Hi radhe,

It is kind of pointless to ask this question, because you are going to receive many different options as almost many different people posting, but if I were you, I would go to to Matousec´s site, look at the latest tests and choice from there. Good luck

Matousec is not the panacea...
About the leak tests limitations: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=29259.msg247460#msg247460

Freeware firewalls:
http://www.firewallleaktester.com/tests_overview.php
http://www.thefreecountry.com/security/firewalls.shtml

Of course not, but after reading thread after thread on several forums, telling the OP the virtues of their respective firewall and how bad are the competitors, I bet many of the thread starters end up much more confused than if they go to a single place like Matousec´s and start from there, don´t you think?

BTW  I knew about Online Armor at matousec´s and believe me, It couldn´t be better

It's ok for freeware.
But seems Matousec's tests aren't independent and this is suspicious.

I have been using PC Tools Firewall Plus which is free, showed up well in Matousec's tests, and is running great.

Regards,
Jerry
