Advantages: FREEWARE, easy to use/install

Disadvantages: Not Choosing To Use It

---->Freeware Firewall<----

It's not very often you get something for free, Zone Alarm was good to begin with, but un-installing it started to get complicated, one of the reasons I chose to use Comodo Pro, anyone looking for a firewall, I would point them in this direction. It is 100% free so you do shouldn't really have to buy a fire wall these days.

----<Why Use It?>----

Comodo has a learning centre that soon gets used to how you operate your PC, after a few times of switching it on, and it has probed you for some info, it is doing what its best at, sitting back keeping a careful watch over your PC.

---->Whats It Got Zone Alarm Hasn't<----

To begin with it has both intermediate and advanced settings, so depending on your PC knowledge you will have no problem using Comodo Pro.
As usual you can stop all internet activity at the push of a button, the Defence + system, is the learning centre on this firewall, it has an array of system file scanning facilities, as well as the ability to hide files in the programs vault.
I haven't been bothered with it unless I'm installing a new program, which then it will ask how you want to install it, straight forward, it won't jump out at you every 2 minutes with warnings and alerts.
It has an automatic update centre too, you really have to get it to see the amount of useful stuff it delivers.

Once installed decide what level of protection you think you need, it doesn't give you mumbo jumbo, the choices go something like - not too bothered-paranoid (paraphrased)

I've always used the best money could buy, Kaspersky, ZA Pro, McAfee Firewall, but this is a mixture of the best of all firewalls rolled into one.

---->Uninstalling<----

If you are a dedicated die hard ZA user I would say to you to use COMODO, I used ZA for a few years till I stumbled over this, When I tried to uninstall ZA I had a few problems doing so. I had to go into the registry and remove it

----<Try It>----

This along with Avast Anti virus means you can kick back and not worry about your beloved PC.

It won't cost a penny, and has converted a few die hard ZA users

Summary: A super firewall, free and very reliable.
