I've been hitting all kinds of firewalls (including the Win7 firewall) with Comodo LeakTest suite and the scores make for some interesting results. Here's the Win7 firewall in its default state on a "home" network.
In comparison, the paid version of Online Armor scored 320, Kerio 80 and Rising F/W 180. IIRC, the Windows XP firewall scored 50 which isn't bad for something that offers uni-directional monitoring, let alone advanced features like HIPS.
Is anyone using the latest firewalls (or ISSs) from Norton, Avira and the rest?
The test suite is available out here. Your A/V might give you a warning about a file named coat.dll but that file is necessary to test any leaks in your security setup and is rather harmless.
