Ooops!
But updates isn’t a place to discuss a firewall.
avast! users can share experiences with PC Tools firewall here.
Not gonna try it :o :
Happy with what i use and from what happened to bob3160 trying it…not worth it!!!
the same here…i ise comodo and everything works like a charm…i don’t want to break that by trying a not-stable firewall as pc tool is(according to Bob’s test)…
maybe u should give a try to pc tools antivirus free which it is said that it uses KAV engine…(i din’t try it though coz i’ve read some bad reviews)…
Have you tried it?
I have and my impression isn’t very favorable unless you think not having internet access after
you install this fine program is considered the safe way to go… ;D ;D
A new version of PC Tools fw will be out this coming week to fix some teething problems.

Interesting, I wonder why they don’t have this product listed on their main page.
Probably not yet ready for prime time… ;D
I’m trying it out. So far so good. Memory usage seems to be only at about 4.100K
Spyros my friend…did you run any firewall tests on it…when i had it installed when i first came out,it failed shields up! big time ??? :
put back on comodo which passed with flying colors ;D
Actually, I did ;D
Yes, it fails because not all ports are “stealth”. Some are “closed”. Non are open, which is the most important. Had tried Comodo a while back, found it too heavy and rather complex. BTW I was running Kerio, which is probably what I’ll go back to if I decide to uninstall PC Tools, although Kerio is also heavy (but very easy - I was never very good with firewalls, a necessary evil for me :P).
ok…just thought i’d let you know…
i saw elvis in 1968,jimi hendrix at woodstock as well as jim morrison and janis joplin back then-never saw bigfoot 
Hi all
According to PC Tools, their AV no longer uses KAV engine http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44703
I’ve been using Avast since 2002 (with the brushed-metal look and “Tardis” blue flashing light tray icon) and remember some if its shortcomings…
Chances are that PC Tools AV will also improve and significantly, this is the first AV (that I can recall) that is offered free for commercial users, not just home use.
According to that link you gave “it’s using the PC Tools AntiVirus Engine which is based on another long-standing engine but is now separately developed by PC Tools.” Rumours say it’s the VirusBuster engine. For now (at least), I’d stay away.
same here spyros…when you have the best(avast!)why try anything else ??? :
There is a thread for PC Tools AV:

scroll down to the truth…
To the lazy ones that don’t want to even click on the link posted by drhayden ;D
It is not even rated here: http://www.matousec.com/projects/windows-personal-firewall-analysis/leak-tests-results.php#firewalls-ratings
[b]The Bad
Well, the protection provided is not that foolproof and there still are some leaks even if enabled. But one of the main disadvantages is that you cannot force the applications to use, only the regular ports and in case another door is opened, you will not even know it (and your computer may catch a cold from the drought).
The Truth
From what I saw, the application is designed for newbies that want to say to their friends they are behind a firewall, but experienced users will soon realize that this is not a too reliable firewall. However, beginners can start their incursion into the world of firewall protection and learn new information.[/b]
thanks tech for the help for the lazy people :o
mine is rated even thought there is a never version out…
Comodo Personal Firewall 2.3.6.81 Excellent
