I have ais and after playing with it ,it does not offer enough control. and other things to my liking.went back to comodo for the firewall. good it works as a firewall pain your tolerance for popups.
What is your OS? Private Firewall and Outpost Free are also very popular here.
I used comodo FW/D+ until very recently (when I got AIS).There are very few D+ pop-ups with the latest version on comodo's default settings and a system that only runs 'standard' stuff. Same for FW events.If you want to check that it's working you can trigger a D+ event by doing an mbam scan, or a pop-up with the avast autosandbox test tool (select don't run in sandbox).
The firewalls mentioned are for those users who want a HIPS along with their firewall. AIS uses the behavior shield and sandbox (and other avast! features) to implement a mostly silent firewall without all of the popup questions and answers associated with a HIPS.
