"More trouble than it was worth"
Version: Comodo Firewall 5.9
Pros
free
unobtrusive in generalCons
too many pop-ups
might have adversely affected my registry (not sure)Summary
I decided to delete it which became a nightmare. When I ran the uninstall, it told me a file it needed was missing and then it aborted. I did a manual uninstall of everything I could find on my hard drive and in the registry, but something was left behind which indicated that Comodo was still running, and it didn't allow me to install a different program. I had even tried an uninstall program, which didn't work. I had to reinstall Comodo and then uninstall, and finally that worked. There were many similar stories which went back to 2006.

"Overall decent product."
Version: Comodo Firewall 5.9
Pros
Free for personal use
Fairly simple to use in most scenarios
Provides above standard out of box system protectionCons
Annoying pop-ups recommending you to; Like on Facebook, buy one of their products, use the Mobile version of Comodo Internet Security...
Somewhat difficult for the average user to manage and use.
Themes are somewhat dull > (Matter of opinion)
Comodo sandboxes just about every app.Summary
I personally don't prefer Comodo Firewall. But overall it is a solid product with a lot of room for expansion. I would recommend Comodo Firewall to anyone with Mid level experience with basic computer processes.
One thing I do wanna point out, is that it tests very well against DOS and DDOS attacks somehow.
3-5 Stars
Good job Comodo! Overall -

"Comodo Firewall is a Condom in the making!"
Version: Comodo Firewall 5.9
Pros
+Tons of user setup
Cons
+Aren't that smart at self controlling crisis.
Summary
To sum it all up, Comodo Firewall is just like a condom. The only problem is, the end user just isn't patient enough with the application features setup and usage ability on a sensible nick to time basis. As a result, is much wiser to stick it all in and get infected and uses an Anti Virus to clear it out afterwards! Problem solve!

It does it's job well. ( something like the Zone Alarm. )...sorry.

"Greatest firewall i know and it's free"
Version: Comodo Firewall 5.9
Pros
+ Defense+
+ You have control over all connections all the time.
+ Easy to use for experienced users.
+ You can disable advertisement and auto update searching if you like through more>preferences>generalCons
Maybe overabundance for new users (newbies).
For me there are no cons, it's an even better firewall then most paid firewalls.Summary
In the beginning it annoyed me because of constant allow/block pop-ups.
But after i went back to windows firewall and downloaded a file, my computer suddenly got hacked and several bad processes where running in the background.
So i formatted hard drives and installed new windows 7 OS.
After that i immediately downloaded and installed comodo firewall together with MSE and spywareblaster.
Second opinion scanners ofcourse are superantispyware, emsisoft emergency kit and malwarebytes (but not running in background).
After a while i got attached to comodo firewall and now i know exactly how the program works.
Defense+ and firewall rules are just easy to use and the pop-up (allow/block) window does not bother me annymore.
Matter a fact, i want to be asked so many times because it gives me control all the time.
As you can see, you really don't need a paid security suite.
There are enough good free solutions out there and comodo firewall is absolutely top of the class in that category.
