I tried OA Free. I had issues with it so I went with Comodo Firewall in Firewall Only installation and I have to say it works like a charm. I haven’t found it too hard, big or slow.
I guess what it boils down to is that you actually test each one out and then settle on the firewall that works best for you.
Seriously, do this:
-
take an image of your computer with something like Macrium Reflect Free or Paragon Backup and Recovery (the free edition).
-
make sure you’ve burned the appropriate boot cd’s that will allow you to load your image after doing the testing
-
Trial out the following by installing the program, testing it out, then imaging your pc with the image you took before testing the next one in line:
- Once you’ve decided which one to go with and the settings you are happy with - image your pc then install the firewall (unless you are on Windows 7 using Windows 7 firewall of course) and set it up with your desired settings.
As you can see - there are a lot of different opinions on here.
You have to go with what works for your particular situation.
