I see you use Online Armor Premium. I used the free version. What do you think of Sphinx Windows 7 Firewall Control? I was able to block leak tests with it. Have we had this conversation?

Unless you are an advanced user, I would stay away from Comodo, at least, as your only real-time protection.

I've never had a problem with it, so long as I waited to install comodo after all other programs and drivers are installed. The firewall is the only feature I keep active, but that's just my personal preference. You do have a point, as it's very easy to disable internet connectivity and legitimate programs if you choose the wrong options and settings. It doesn't work well with other antimalware/antispyware programs either, unless you disable the defense+ and sandbox features before you run a scan or enable realtime protection. On the other hand, Comodo has never made a computer I've worked with freeze or crash, which is more than I can say for Symantec, McAfee, or Kaspersky, Avira, Avast, malwarebytes or MSE.

"...unless you disable the defense+ and sandbox features before you run a scan or enable realtime protection.."

really ?

i´ve used Comodo´s firewall & Defence+ together with: MSE, Avira, Avast, a-squared, i have NEVER noticed any problem.

previously i even had MSE, Avira & a-squared running together, all of them WITH their realtime-protection on, together with Comodo´s firewall & Defence+ !

i later temporarily replaced Avira with Avast, also with realtime-protection on, no problems detected.


to all: PLEASE, don´t waste your time telling me about "only one A/V..."

i already know all about it....

Thanks for catching that. I was curious about the pricing so selected AVG antivirus 9.0, right-click search & I ended up at the Internet Security pricing.

Yeah. Sorry. I guess with all that comes through a post, it's hard to know what came when and from whom.

You could always download a 30-day trial of Kaspersky IS and see if you like it. It's firewall is manageable. I've never seen it act in action though.

yes, it can be very confusing sometimes, that´s why i post like this: "jsmoline: xxxxx ? "

i have no idea about "Sphinx Windows 7 Firewall Control", i don´t use Windows Firewall, as you have noticed i use OA....

If I tried something for thirty days and liked it, I would be inclined to buy it. Since there are so many good free choices out there, I'm not interested in shareware.
