I think you "Papa Lazarou" have missed the point. All outbound traffic are allowed for 7 days as Webroot Desktop Firewall is in a learning mode during that period, that is in Webroots own words: "new intelligent, "learning" firewall. It "watches" what you do; then learns from your activity to only interrupt you for abnormal activity". After 7 days Webroot will warn you if a new activity is trying to reach the internet. Not everyone likes Comodos intruding and annoying pop up windows. I think this is a very good firewall. It is light on memory, all ports are in stealth and it is free as a bird!

THIS IS A JOKE RIGHT ? IT LET EVERYTHING THROUGH , AFTER INSTALLATION I WAS ABLE TO LAUNCH I.E. , OPERA , AND FIREFOX BROWSERS , LIMEWIRE & SOULSEEK , NO QUESTIONS ASKED ! I USED UPDATER ON SPYWARE BLASTER ,CCLEANER, COUNTERSPY , A2SQUARED , OR ANNYTHING ELSE THAT REQUIRED ACCESS TO A SERVER , THIS WITH ALL SETTINGS SET TO HIGH ! T HAS GOT A BUTTON TO STOP TRAFFIC , BUT SO HAVE ALL THE OTHERS , I'M NOT KIDDING , THE WINDOWS XP SP2 FIREWALL IS MORE INQUISITIVE THAN THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE . LETS SEE ;ZONE ALARM - TOO BLOATED , KERIO , OUTPOST AND NEW COMODO 3 ARE TOO BUGGY , ONLINE ARMOR ,LAVASOFT NOT FREE , I'M SLOWLY RUNNING OUT OF OPTIONS. BACK TO COMODO 2 & WINPATROL I RECKON , OR THE AFORMENTIONED XP SP2 .

I cannot ignore radiomaffia's spam concerning Fort Knox firewall. That firewall is rated "poor" by all current & reputable firewall tests. See example HERE. Not to put it too bluntly, but Ft Knox firewall is an over-priced holey wonder. ^_^
Webroot firewall is re-branded Private firewall, & includes DSA - a Host-based Intrusion Protection as well as a full-on Stateful Packet firewall. When you visit the above test link, check out the rating for Private firewall & compare it with the rating for FtKnox. Then decide for yourself.
