Privatefirewall is now free

Previously a paid software is now freeware. :slight_smile:

Thanks for this information!

I just didn’t find out if it also offers more languages… German for example… ;D
But actually I’m happy with my Windows Firwall…

This firewall has also some quiet good results at Matousec’s Security Challenge… (see the picture)

kind regards

EDIT: oops… forgot to add the picture…

Thanks. Excellent find. Just finished installing it on one of the Windows 7 systems.
I noticed that this also works on Windows 7 64 bit systems. Very easy to install and use.
Seems to totally hide my WIFII

Hope to see Avast! 5 Firewall in October on this test :smiley:

You’re welcome. :slight_smile: Hope it works well for you.

hello, was also exited on this turning freeware, however on my system not all ports were stealthed and also the firewall logging did not work. HIPS part ok however…

I have taking a look at it and i did no find any picture for it. For sure also how mush ram and ressource and space he would use.

After an initial test and after the first reboot after install, I’ve removed it. :frowning:
It tied my system into knots. Everything crawled and it took forever to finally get it un-installed.
Now the system is back to normal (using the Windows 7 firewall).

No problems for me yet :slight_smile:

edit : using in windows 7

What other security products are you running ???

@bob3160

hey bob,

windows 7 32-bit
avast home- latest version
mbam-latest version

edit:mbam free version

Maybe the difference is in what I’m running:

Win 7 32 bit
Microsoft Security Essentials
Avast Home
IOBit Security 360 Beta
ThreatFire
Windows Defender
WinPatrol Plus

@bob3160

oh! sorry… i forgot windows defender. thats there on my system too.

Thanks, but ı use comodo firewall, it is the best firewall :slight_smile:

There are many that will give you an argument about what is the best firewall ;D

I never used another software firewall only Windows because i trust more it than the other. So im happy with my current firewall and its sound bad like bob he said. So i wont take chance ill keep my current protection for sure.

[b]Please don't bypass trying this excellent product[/b] just because it didn't work out on my system. Consider all of the security software I already have running in the background. I'm sure the reason PrivateFirewall didn't work for me is my fault. Not the fault of the software. :)

The Webroot fw is a version of Privatefirewall. I tried the Webroot fw when it became free and I didn’t like it.

I’m happy with Online Armor, I see no reason trying another fw, at least until I can try the avast! Personal Firewall. :wink:

first time I hear there will be an Avast fw…anywhere I can get more info about the project?
