Very effective firewall 5 stars by Cavehomme (Read all my 2 reviews)
Provides complete firewall and HIPS protection. User friendly. However inexperienced users should avoid using powerful firewall such as this one or other similar ones and are better off using a total effective security such as Norton, Kaspersky or Avast. showShow review details
Free top-class security 4 stars by yassertariq (Read all my 74 reviews)
It passed all the PC Flank tests. The training is a bit cumbersome, as it is with all the other firewalls. Coupled with my Eset NOD32, it's a great internet security tool. showShow review details
It is very good, but it can be very annoying 4 stars by WeissThon (Read all my 3 reviews)
Some time ago I mentioned it kept asking even if you had set a rule. I redownloaded a later version and that issue vanished; but another came out. First, you may have given permission to connect for a program, yet it doesn't allow it because it set up permission only for TCP, when the program also uses UDP. Or it grants it to outgoing only but you want it for outgoing and incoming. So far not a biggie, since it's very easy to go to programs and manually complete it. The problem comes when the program updates and Privatefirewall resets those settings to the ones it had set the first time so every time the program updates you have to go back to set the options manually. If the program tends to update with high frequency, you end really annoying at having to go through all those clicks. I expect that in new versions that will have been solved and it deserve a five stars rating. It may be a bit difficult to find the options at first, but with a little reading of the options it's clear quick enough. showShow review details
