Firewall plus Antimalware plus Antivirus. The antimalware is sort like Vista's UAC. The firewall has worked perfect for me. The antivirus part seems right, but I have a bad gut feeling. I saw some complaints over the EULA, but as I see it it's not bad. What I read as "if you get in legal action they can get lawyers and make you pay" is more like in arbitration system the arbiter may decide one part pays all costs. The control of traffic is that they offer, in pro version I guess, a DNS service, it would be in using that and this won't change your settings. And as sharing of e-mails and so, is the one you gave. However, something about COMODO certificates being available for free and used in some viruses is what made me think of uninstalling their CIS. However, I've not found any firewall up to this.

Privatefirewall
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/Vista/7

qleft  Not bad, not too good.  qright

Privatefirewall version 6.1
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 2
  • Overall: 3

With some programs it becomes an annoyance of pop ups asking. Giving full permission won't stop the queries until the program it's asking about is restarted. And even then I saw a few permissions with one or two of the programs asked again. One can make out what it is each thing and find the way. The problem that has led me to look for another is that it slows the hell out of some applications, even one that uses no internet connection.
