    Good Firewall. Small, effective, low resource requirement, work fine when Emule is running (Zonealarm's VSMON caused a very high cpu load)

    Used to like this firewall. But the latest version, 7.0.0.111, produces an error with Microsoft Office and some other programs. If you click on an office document file like .doc, the firewall issues the error "There was a problem sending the command to the program." This error also occurs if you try to open a webpage by clicking on a link in a program's helpfile.

    This is a nice lightweight firewall. It would be nice to have a few more configuration options like granting access by time of day or specific protocol. But on the positive side, I haven't experienced any of the BSD reported by some other users with any version of PCTools, unlike my past experience with Outpost and Comodo. But I mostly do clean installs of firewalls after testing on a spare PC. They're too important to be larded on on top of older firewalls.

    I SERIOUSLY recommend you stick with comodo internet security as it includes both firewall and antivirus protection as well a many other protection tools.... I'll admit I've never had to use them all ... but at least they're there... if you're not stupid in terms of compuer terminology than go with comodo please for your own sake
