It’s not quite that easy to install the Firewall only without D+. You are given three options when installing it called something like ,maximum protection, normal protection, and enterprise strength firewall only. Only the last one, enterprise strength, will give you the firewall without D+. However, even using the firewall only installer, all of the other components of the Comodo Internet Security suite do get installed as well, they’re just turned off. Even the AV, with a rather large database file, gets installed.

I’m really liking the free version of Windows 7 Firewall Control. You get a popup, choose to block or allow incoming,outgoing,or all, and that’s it. You can also set it to allow everything while ,say, installing something, and then go back afterwards and edit the rules that were made to your preference.
