Matousec, whose main goal is to "improve security of end-users", recently compared personal firewall software - from free firewalls to paid solutions from well known vendors.
The full results of their study can be found at http://www.matousec.com/projects/firewall-challenge/results.php
The Winner?
Comodo Firewall Pro - This is a free firewall package provided by Comodo. It stopped all of the attempted attacks that were tested. Download your free copy from
http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
Another free firewall, Online Armor Personal Firewall, also scored 100% on the test. You can download this firewall from http://www.tallemu.com/.
How did the pay firewall programs fare?
ZoneAlarm Pro - 74%
Norton Internet Security 2008 - 32%
Windows Live OneCare - 5%
The moral of the story?
Just because a security program comes from a "big name" vendor and isn't free, doesn't mean it is the best solution. |
