Comodo Firewall
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP

qleft  It blocked dns even when "allow all" was  qright

Comodo Firewall version 2.4
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 1
  • Ease of use: 1
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 1

I finally got around to looking for a new firewall and decided to give Comodo a try. The install was fine. I looked over the interface, a little confusing but not too bad and it had the ability to customize the rules which is something I really like. Unfortunately it secured my PC a little too well. I couldn't do DNS lookups no matter what I tried. I set it to "allow all", I made the DNS server a trusted zone, I even exited the program, still no DNS. So I uninstalled and rebooted and hey, I'm online again. I looked nice, but I think it's trying a little to hard to the all-in-one security solution. I just want a good firewall.

Dimension 4
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Excellent time sync utility  qright

Dimension 4 version 5.0
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 4

I just wanted something to sync on boot and then exit. I'm not doing anything time critical so I don't need hourly update or anything. This little does the job wonderfully. My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that it comes with a large list of servers and it's kind of a pain going through them to find one that's nearby.

Startup Control Panel
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Excellent utility  qright

Startup Control Panel version 2.8
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

Startup Control Panel is an excellent little util for gain visibility into your startup programs. It will let you move things between startup areas, disable/delete and edit items and add new items. The interface could be improved but it's better than many others.

I'd been looking for some decent backup software for a long time. SyncBack is great. It does what I need, does it fast and isn't a pain to set up.
