Comodo's Free Firewall is your first layer of defense against viruses, worms, Trojans, hackers, and all Internet threats.

Comodo Firewall Screenshot 1

Comodo's Firewall uses Default Deny Protection to prevent threats from occurring, rather than just detecting them when it's already too late.

Whenever an unknown piece of software is introduced to your system, the software cross-references it with a white-list of over 15 million trusted files and applications.

If the file asking for access is on the list, the product can be sure it's safe for your computer to allow it to execute. If not, the tool will alert you that a possibly malicious file is trying to enter your PC.

The latest version sees a major leap forward in security and usability with the addition of cloud-based scanning and behavior analysis of unrecognized files - making Comodo Free Firewall unbeatable at detecting zero-day attacks.

Under default settings, unknown and untrusted files are automatically scanned by cloud-based virus scanners then, while the file undergoes behavior analysis on a cloud server, it is run in a virtual environment (sandbox) on your local machine so that it cannot modify or affect data on your 'real' system.

This ground-breaking method of protecting your PC means that only trusted applications are allowed to run.

Malware and untrusted files get nowhere near anything important AND you get to use your computer without interruption from nagging alerts.

The software also boasts a powerful packet filtering firewall that helps you securely connect to the internet while blocking hackers from making incoming connections.

It's easy to use and features an attractive interface that lets even beginners change settings to their liking.

The app comes with automatic updates and is the winner of the prestigious Editor's Choice award.

Download it now and find out why prevention-based protection is the security technology of the future. Comodo Firewall for Windows is completely free for life.

Advanced Features: It includes advanced features such as intrusion detection, a sandbox for running suspicious applications, and customizable security rules, which can be useful for more experienced users.

Defense+ Technology: It uses its Defense+ technology to monitor and protect against potentially harmful applications and behavior. This can help identify and block malware and other threats.

Popularity: It has a reasonably large user base and a community of users who can provide support and share their experiences with the software.

CONS

Complex Configuration: It can be complex to configure, especially for users who are not experienced with firewall settings. Novice users may find it overwhelming.

Frequent Alerts: The default settings for the software can generate frequent pop-up alerts, which can be annoying for some users. However, these can be customized.

False Positives: Like many security tools, it may sometimes flag legitimate software or actions as suspicious, leading to false positives that disrupt normal usage.

Resource Intensive: It can be resource-intensive, particularly when using its more advanced features like the sandbox. This can impact system performance on older or less powerful computers.

User Interface: Some users have found the user interface of the program to be less intuitive and user-friendly compared to other firewall solutions.

Limited Support: While there is a user community that can provide assistance, Comodo's free version may not come with the same level of customer support as paid alternatives.
