A small caution here:
I was asking myself this same thing last week, and I found my way to Comodo as part of that.
While there I was attracted to their anti virus package and felt a trial might be in order on my laptop. Well I installed it and it updated and all sorts of wonderful things that looked ike it was going to be really quite good.
Then it settled down and I noted that it was not being noticed by Windows as being a virus checker. So I went and read their forums and sure ehough they expect that to be sorted out during this present July that we are all currently experiencing.
OK, I thought, I may as well uninstall it, keep looking at others and then revisit once this has been fixed as advertised and see how I like it then.
That's when it started really, to cut a long one short, this is almost as hard to get rid of as Norton.
Since finally getting rid of it, I've not felt the urge to try their firewall oddly enough. ;O) (It was this "" much from a reinstall of windows to loose this thing! The windows was a fresh install, virgin copy of XP with SP2, 100% legit, so having this sort of trouble with an uninstall was fully inexcusable)
It also more clearly focussed my thoughts on the whole firewall thing, what I really want is a firewall that does outgoing only. I mean I got the windows one for incoming, why reinvent the wheel? A really smart author would come up with the outgoing half that's missing about now, and probably clean up for their trouble. If anyone spots that smart author, please pass the URL as I'd rather like to support their plainly clear thinking on all this.
