A decent firewall, but somewhat instrusive. Download.com has the old version.
Pros: Comodo has some features that other firewalls (such as ZoneAlarm Pro) make you pay for. It has something called Defense+ which monitors your system for unwanted changes and it has advanced intruder protection. There are also different levels of protection you can choose from such as training mode, installation, clean pc, and paranoid. It also comes with a basic on-demand malware scanner.
Cons: I found the software to be somewhat intrusive. It slowed down my computer whenever I wanted to make any changes to the system settings or registry. It also produces a lot of pop-ups and it doesn't learn as quickly as ZoneAlarm Pro. Most of all, the version on Download.com is way outdated. Go to Comodo's website to get the latest version. I downloaded this version. The uninstallation was a nightmare. That problem is supposedly fixed in the latest version. Ultimately, I switched back to ZoneAlarm.
