Version: PC Tools Firewall Plus Free Edition 1.0.0.10
"Worth trying!!"
Pros: Simple and nice interface...easy to understand for comp newbies...doesnt slow down my comp..has that little icon at the taskbar to show u incoming and outgoing traffic (like ZA)
Cons: Dont expect too much from it though it only offers basic firewall protection. You cant change and tweak much stuff...besides the application control
When I clicked on Smart Update, it says, " getting lists of updates..." and then disappear within a sec. Users wont know whether they has received the update..other than that i recommend u trying it but not using it as ur permenant firewall =)

I am thankful that someone other than ma-da-lin has taken an interest in my original review about this firewall. It was my effort to warn my fellow reviewers of a potentially dangerous hole in this firewall; amazingly, ma-da-lin truly, "Brought It Home" with his second posting concerning even more issues than I originally found!
If we can continue to spark our fellow reviewers minds, we will make a much safer community for all!
It wasn't my intention to spark so much controversy about this firewall. However, history as our witness shows that revolutionary changes are usually established after every controversial incident!
I appreciate your on-going commitment in this forum, and look froward to reading your new reviews!

You are not alone ~ I couldn't get this application to update either!
Considering the Dll injection issue that my test found ~ it would greatly concern me as to why I'm not receiving updates from a company that has granted me software updates through it registration process!
Be careful; the Dll injection issues that I been harping about are very serious indeed.
