ThreatFire is an application designed to protect your computer against malware such as trojans, spyware, rootkits, keyloggers, and buffer overflows by intelligently detecting and blocking behavior consistent with that of malware. It does this by constantly monitoring your system, and analyzing programs and process activity. Whenever it detects any unusual process or activity, it will display an alert with further information on the threat. If it is a known threat, then it will automatically quarantine the malware and no further action is required on your part. If the threat is unknown, or new, then ThreatFire will display an alert and prompt you to Allow or Quarantine the process. All alerts provide detailed information to help you make an informed decision.

    Now with the keyboard driver removed apps seem to be a bit more responsive. Previously I never associated the lag with TF. But noticed the service and tray app are using less resources as well.

    I stand by most of the points from my previous review but I will give TF 5 stars now for lower resources and to balance out my previous 1 star.

    ailef: Why do you rabid Comodo fanbois always harp on "IT'S FREE!!"
    yes Comodo crapware is free.
    Avira personal is free.
    Avast Home is free.
    AVG Free is free.
    Drive Sentry is free.
    The subject of this review,Threatfire is free.
    All of these FREE programs are more simple,easy to use,and trouble free
    than Comodo will ever be.
    (yes, even after "THE NEXT BIG RELEASE THAT WILL BE PERFECT."
    Comodo is free because no one other than a fanboi would dream of paying
    for this hodge-podge of a mouthy classical hips,Anti-BO snakeoilware,and a 4th string antivirus.
    Go burn a candle for,or write a love letter to Abdulhayoglu.
    Cut the crap.

    Still giving the "Start menu2" error right at the end of the install..and this is on a brand new XP SP-3 install with nothing but video and NIC drivers. PC Tools support is a joke. I guess this promising little program has become crapware.

    Prior versions were great. In the past I always gave a 5 star rating. Now, the av scanner has been removed and replaced with a tab advertising PCTools AV and that you should download it. They added another tab that says "Did you know".

    Come on. Why put getting started tips into the UI? Its not needed since there is a tutorial, getting started links in the tray icon and help menu. Not too mention upon install it opens a web page with the same info.

    This app is now n00bware and now puts PCTools AV program in your face. What if I dont want to install it? Why have a tab in UI for it?

    What about users who paid for a pro lic. that seems to be useless now?
