Software Firewall Protection
http://live.pirillo.com/ – DiscountBacon in the chat room wants to know what’s more important when looking at firewall protection: incoming, outgoing, or both?
Really, when looking at firewalls, you should consider both incoming and outgoing traffic protection, because attacks on your system may come from the outside, but if there’s a virus or some other kind of nefarious program on your system it will already be transmitting out to the world.
We recommend Comodo: it’s powerful, good, and totally free for personal use.
Unfortunately, most firewalls leak. But Comodo’s Firewall is unique in that it passes all known leak tests to ensure the integrity of data entering and exiting your system. Comodo has put firewall through all kinds of sophisticated tests to ensure its firewall powerful enough to ward off these attacks with default settings. No other firewall has had to work this hard. Take this test yourself.
Do you have a software firewall recommendation?

I’ve never tried Comodo, but have always recommended the Zone Alarm free firewall.
I’ll have to check it out.
