Comodo Leak Test

Just one word of explanation in conducting a firewall leak test
The procedure I use, which I believe to be a valid test is to set my security at my normal level, and run the test - when I am prompted by the firewall as to how to react to an attack I select Deny (I do not choose to remember this action as I test regularly).
The users response to the firewall prompt is an integral part of the security process and must be taken into account - If a user is prompted regarding a test and then selects allow the test will show fail as the packets will leave the system but in my opinion the prompt is a pass as the correct deny response will protect the system and achieve a pass.

Unfortunately, that test is invalid for firewalls like Norton and Avast!

I've been using the Comodo firewall for a couple of years , it used to have a steep learning curve the present vesion is much better in that respect. As a firewall it is very good I am using Comodo Internet security suite on Windows 7 64 bit it is free & also includes Antivirus , Defense & a Sandbox.
They also have a free System Cleaner which is very good.

I may as well re-post: Matousec Personal Firewall Tests Analyzed | The #1 bookmarked Freeware site
And add: Matousec’s Firewall Challenge wrinkle: conflict of interests? « Smokey's Security Weblog
Matousec’s New Moves to Recapture the label “Trustworthy” « Smokey's Security Weblog
Take what you want from GRC, Matousec and leak tests but please don't let it be on how good a firewall is at being a firewall.
