Version: Armor2net Personal Firewall 3.12
"Best on MKT today,Beat... (all)other firewalls in TEST"
Pros: This is the most secure Firewall that you will find and Test have proven this to be True.The 2008 Vers. is a standalone product that does all it claims and more if...you don't try it you'll never know what you have missed in a truly "Great Firewall"...

Version: Armor2net Personal Firewall 3.12
Pros: With this firewall you can have the best possible access to your p2p program you uses. Once you pass lock the app then it will do the rest. Listen and out the ports needed. When your done it will close them up. Other than that it's spyware and popup stopper does work where IE fails to do..
Cons: Can't be use on systems with more than one user login. If you do it will crash. So if you're the only one that uses the PC then you're okay. If not then this is not a firewall program for you.

"It works well and who needs a pop up blocker anyways?"
Pros: It allows you to shut ports completely,most firewalls will allow them to "listen" even though there unwanted.It works well and is simple and doesn't block me from accessing the net.I don't need another pop up blocker I have firefox and sp2.
Cons: Could use more features,so the nerds will stop complaining.

Version: Armor2net Personal Firewall 3.12
Pros: Simple and easy to use.
Cons: You can't skin it, but it's not that big a deal because it has a brushed aluminum look which matches most things, however the color scheme on the inside is kinda ugly and depressing.
You can't make the stupid gif animation in the system tray stop and it's distracting.
And here is a letter I sent to their support person about a minute ago:
Sometimes the icon in the system tray will disappear when I open the console and click the x. It's happened two or three times now but it was still running I could see.
I'm using XP SP2. Also, you still haven't allowed people to see where it locates spyware from the clean spywares console. Why? Seriously, if it's really finding Cydor, which I doubt (and what a coincidence it happens to find it everytime I install it) then could you please show us where it supposedly is hiding? Ugh. Either that or sell the signatures to a spyware company like avg or adaware since that is magically the only thing besides some other obscure thing your program ever seems to find. Why not just a pure firewall? It's not as if you are beating adaware or the other guys you know? And if you decide to get rid of that virtually useless feature, then tell us who you sold it to so we can know which program will be able to check for it. Keep it clean and simple.

Version: Armor2net Personal Firewall 3.12
Pros: it works
Cons: 1. Confusing control panel. Instead of having all the tabs to the side it has this hard to see "I want to" on the bottom which you must press to see yet more options. It's really nutty and ugly.
2. If explorer crashes kiss the system control icon goodbye!
3. It finds imaginary spyware, and when it presents it to you will not tell you where it is. I told the programmer to put that feature in YEARS ago and he won't do it!
4. Unless you turn off the hard to find button that says not to warn you about repeated outbound attempts the stupid icon flashes a pop up message repeatedly, and when u try to right click to turn it off the damned thing keeps popping it up as many times as a program tries to go outbound so you can never turn the damned message off!
This is junkware people. It's junk. It hasn't been updated in years and whoever owns it shows no signs of any activity other then selling this gimmicky program. No one even makes skins for this thing probably because they know it's gimmickware.
