Kerio Personal Firewall (KPF) is a software agent that builds a barrier between your personal computer and the Internet. It is designed to protect your PC against attacks from both the Internet and other computers in the local network. It controls all data flow in both directions รข?? from the Internet to your computer and vice versa, and it can block all attempted communication allowing only what you choose to permit. This makes it an ideal solution for notebook computers that freely travel in and out of the corporate network, facing exposure to various risks as they connect from different locations.

    Sunbelt (Kerio) Personal Firewall 4.6.1861 keeps turning itself off for no known reason and with no warning -- I just suddenly notice that its icon is no longer present in the system tray at the bottom of the screen, and can confirm that it's in fact no longer active -- doesn't intervene to ask if I want to allow a program to start a process or not. No root-kit revealers have ever shown any rootkits; spybot search & destroy and avast have never identified any serious problems they couldn't handle, but I keep discovering that Sunbelt personal firewall has been turned off for I don't know how long, and I have been surfing the internet with no firwall protection whatsoever for I don't know how long...!

    Warning, if you are having an nVidia card, the current version to this day (2008-12-01 - 2009-03-14), Sunbelt Personal Firewall v4.6.1861 will cause sporadic Windows XP crashes (BSOD) with potential data loss as a result.

    Windows crashes in average between 1-15 minutes after the user has logged in and the windows crash dump points squarely at Sunbelt !

    Eventough numerous nVidia users have reported this problem to Sunbelt (on their forums and directly via mail), the company has done squat to fix the problem.

    They've had close to half a year to get their acts together, so that speaks volumes regarding their customer service and responsiveness.

    If you want to trust your data and security to such a security firm with that *quality* of products, by all means use their software. Otherwise I would advice you to look elsewhere.

    This was a good firewall once. Not any more, every new version has been crap, especially since that scientology company got their hands on it. Which is yet another reason why I wouldn't buy it no matter how good it was, it's funding their wacko cult.

    COMODO = I got curious results using this firewall regarding a suspect file "dwmapi.dl" seems like many others did too if you google "dwmapi.dl" (notice the extension is .dl) anyway the problem disappeared as soon as I uninstalled COMODO.

    Maybe I'll give this Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall a shot!
