"Needs to be (Removed From C/Net Posts) serious bad DNA"
Version: Lavasoft Personal Firewall (32-bit) 3.0
Pros
NOTHING...Nothing...Nothing...
Cons
A Piece of lowly crap that will lockup you system and has caused several Reformatt's to clear out damage.TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Summary
a Communist Plot to cause chaos and total confusion as to What Happened.

"Disappointed - I expected more from Lavasoft"
Version: Lavasoft Personal Firewall (32-bit) 3.0
Pros
Aggressive, itchy and twitchy
Cons
Aggressive, itchy and twitchy. It hiccups a lot, and seems to be in a pitched battle with users...the pop-up screens come at you so fast that you feel overwhelmed. Seems feverishly incapable for the program to learn new rules.
Summary
Exhausting, frustrating and silly. Why provide check boxes for setting new behavior when the program just keeps smacking away constantly with the same old behavior? I felt like I was engaged in an epic fly swatting battle.
In the end, it had to go. You may feel the same sense of desperation. Try Agnitum Outpost! -
"Best of the worst."
Version: Lavasoft Personal Firewall (32-bit) 3.0
Pros
Detects everything (as far as I can tell), can group one application's activity, has a farily good entertainment (full screen) mode, and it even does firewall-level content blocking!
Cons
Tries very hard to not let you be in charge. Sometimes allows an app. access even though you have specified that you want to block it. (It overrides your decisions based on some algorithm or something.)
Summary
Very hard to take controll of the application, it wants to be all-automatic; which it does not do a very good job at. However, when you do get in controll it is the best firewall available today.
