  "Disappointed - I expected more from Lavasoft"

  by Zenbob96 on June 3, 2009

  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.

  "Best of the worst."

  by Someonehowdoescare on November 15, 2008

  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. read more
