"Cannot tell if it was working"
Version: PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 6.0.0.74
Pros
None. It does not work.
Cons
Difficult to download.
Showed some kind of error every time, EVERY TIME, computer restarted.
I could not be sure the firewall was working because there was no icon on taskbar. Tried to open program from the Start menu but all I got was a box with the PC Tools logo stating "Initializing"...for five minutesSummary
I'm going back to ZoneAlarm

"I like it a lot!"
Version: PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 6.0.0.74
Pros
I always used Zone Alarm Pro, paid subscriptions for years. Then reverted back to the free Zone Alarm Firewall. Seems their last update just plain did not work. Feels funny without the Z icon on my taskbar and somewhat unsafe. I tried Comodo and couple of others and man was that aggravating. Having to reboot for every update. Well I finally got around to trying this little Firewall. I been using it now for several months and I'm totally satisfied. I'm using Windows XP Professional and Avast7 AV and no conflicts whatsoever. I'm glad too. I don't like windows firewall and the others are just insane to run, to much bleh. The Firewall and the AV is the 2 must have's on my PC. PC Tool Firewall is a winner for me. I certainly recommend it. It's simple, fast, user friendly, and easily understood. No excess baggage.
Cons
None.. I am totally pleased.
Summary
Try it out is my advice... that's what I do. For me it's my Firewall till Zone Alarm gets its act back together and then back I go LOL! 12 years with one product will do that to ya. If they don't, I will stick with PC Tool Firewall Plus. It may not be for everyone since we all have different PC's and Net habit's. From behind my screen, it works.
