Comodo Firewall : The Best Free Firewall For a Windows System

Posted by Pubudu Kodikara on Mar 6, 2010 in Software, Windows | 21 comments

When it comes to free firewalls, Comodo Firewall is at the top of the ladder! Some times its even capable of beating some of the security giants in the world! Recently, Comodo have released the next major version of their world famous firewall!

As I said earlier, Comodo Firewall is the world’s best “Free” firewall that a windows user can ever have. It provides almost all the features that a commercial firewall will offer including, Default Deny Protection, automatic updates, sand-boxing and even malware protection! The most important thing is that Comodo offers you all these features for free!

Main Features :

• Default Deny Protection™

Makes sure that only known PC-safe applications execute

• Prevention-based security

Stops viruses and malware before they access your computer…so it isn’t too late to stop them.

• Sandbox technology

The sandbox is a virtual operating environment for untrusted programs – ensuring viruses and other malicious software are completely isolated from the rest of your computer

• Personalized alerts

Firewall remembers which software is allowed to operate and changes its alerts accordingly.

• Automatic updates

Stay current with the latest protection.

• Precise and specific alert system

Warnings specify the level and type of possible threat from each source.

• Easy to configure

Tell the free firewall to scan upon installation and add all current applications to the safe-list.

• Detailed summary screen

Easily access an at-a-glance snapshot of current security settings

• Uncluttered, user-friendly interface

Quickly navigate through the various parts of Firewall protection without getting lost

• Thorough security “wizards”

Preset security settings for simple point-and-click setup

• Exclusive access to Comodo’s “safe-list”

List of over two million known PC-friendly files and apps. Privdes free firewall protection with the knowledge to let safe files and apps run.

• ‘Training Mode’ lets Firewall automatically create ‘allow’ rules

Firewall software learns your trusted programs to minimize alerts

I think some of these features are not available in some commercial Firewall systems. I have been using Comodo for about an year, and it did a pretty good job making my PC invisible to the outside world!
