"If you have Vista don't install this!!!"

Cons
It's not working with Vista OS. It causes that some system modules has stop working and that provides your computer to several system crashes (blue screens).

"Not Useful; Can Be Dangerous to Inexperienced User"
Version: PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 3.0.36
Pros
Not much.
Cons
It's ineffective - port open tests show loads of vulnerabilities - like most of PC Tools' products, this one is also baitware. And the install can be dangerous to the noob who will probably download PC Tools' system killer Threatfire as part of the deal. Personally, I'd stay away from all PC Tools products.
