I'll check it out.I ran Comodo's 64-bit firewall for about a year. It's a very robust firewall with an amazing degree of features. It's also very user-intensive, much more so than any other firewall I have used. I would still be using it if it were more reliable, i.e., didn't get corrupted on a regular basis.The typical scenario would be a computer on my network would suddenly be unable to reach a printer hosted on the machine with Comodo. I'd check this and that, even shut down Comodo and no joy. I would have to uninstall Comodo to restore network printing. Then I would reinstall it and everything would be fine... for a while, until it corrupted again. That got a little tiresome.This was the only issue I had with it and if you're not on a network it may function fine. It is an effective firewall.Ghostwall isn't bad, either, for a free firewall.

I had Comodo Firewall installed first and then switched to PC Tools. Everything was fine with Comodo no network problems etc. When I switched to PC Tools I had nothing but problems. Internet was going on and off and everything. I'll stay with Comodo. I have tried both. I had Comodo Firewall installed first and then switched to PC Tools.
