"if upgrading, You will pull out your own hair..."
Version: PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 6.0.0.74
Pros
The user interface and functionality of the previous version was great. Like night and day from using the the built in windows firewall. Kudos..
Cons
I love this free product from PC Tools, but it would help significantly if it installed correctly if you are upgrading from a previous version. This does not appear to be the case, however.
Summary
The implementation and funtionality of this product is very good, but be prepared to walk through hell will gasoline underwear if you are upgrading from the previous version...

"Can't beat the price!"
Version: PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 6.0.0.74
Pros
Better than Window's firewall and allows both expert and non-expert settings.
Cons
Not sure if it is really a con but tends to inform you about your software trying to use .dlls when in Expert mode. Nice to know if they were kicking off .dlls that were not their own, but don't see any reason to know they are using their own.
Summary
In short I feel safer than reply on Windows since Windows and security don't seem to go together.

"Wow. This is a geek's firewall dream."
Version: PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 6.0.0.74
Pros
Shows you all the traffic. Detailed packet inspection-based rules allowed. Novice or expert mode.
Works with Vista SP2 and Windows 7.Cons
If you make a mistake in your rule selection, you can't edit individual rules.
Summary
Far more traffic info and control than ZoneAlarm. I've used ZoneAlarm for almost a decade, but PCTools beats ZoneAlarm by far. It is more lightweight, too. I much prefer it to ZA.
