Version: Lavasoft Personal Firewall 2
""Lavasoft" used to be a great company."
Pros: I'm not going to review this firewall but I'd like to post a thought. I just don't get whats going on at "Lavasoft". It's August 2007 people and they seem to have forgotten that theres a new operating system by "Microsoft" out and it's been out for seven months now. So many other companies have released "Vista" compatible software but "Lavasoft" hasn't. Theres a couple of free firewalls out that work on "Vista" and a few paid firewall applications that work with "Vista" to. Some are integrated into internet security suites that work with "Vista". I used to love this company but this and "AdAware 2007" just don't cut it for me. Besides, why would anyone pay for a firewall when theres "Zone Alarm", "PC tools Firewall" and "Comodo Firewall Pro"? These are all free and two of them work with "Vista". I hope they get it together soon because I have lost the respect I used to have for "Lavasoft". Man, I just don't understand whats going on at "Lavasoft" these days.
Cons: No comment. See my comments in pros.

Version: Lavasoft Personal Firewall 2
Pros: Easy to download and install
Cons: Even after installation and setting up some exceptions for basic internet work, all my browsers failed to function, so I had to uninstall it and go back to MS.
I'll try again when I have three or four hours to work out what is wrong with it.
Uninstall took two attempts. Eventually went back to system restore, the chicken solution.

"Simple, easy to understand and with a great learningsystem."
Pros: The self-learning system. Very handy
Cons: More overall controll over ports and perhaps a system in which you can se exactly how much bandwith ports and processes are using. A visual routing system would be nice too.

Version: Lavasoft Personal Firewall 2
Pros: I like everything about this software, but I especially like the fact that it lets me decide whether or not I want certain sites to get through. Some I have tried, just made the decision on its own, therefore not letting some of my favorite sites get through. This software is quite good!
