Version: SoftPerfect Personal Firewall 1.4
"Good light-weight, rule-based, firewall"
Pros: - Good set of default rules.
- Light-weight: doesn't chew up a bunch of resources under Win9x (I tested with under Win98).
- Can block using MAC / hardware address.
Cons: - Learning mode can be confusing because you don't know what all the ports are for.
- Cannot resolve IP addressess (don't know who's connecting to your computer)
- Cannot determine which application is sending or receiving (no application rules)

Version: SoftPerfect Personal Firewall 1.4
"Good light weight rule based firewall."
Pros: Low hard drive and RAM usage. Gets the job done.
Cons: The application is not for the average user. Definitely for technical users that know how firewall rules and networking works. Lacks email protection and malicious web scanning protection.
