    "Good protection"

    February 19, 2011  |   By grant500

    Pros

    It certainly caught anything trying to access the net.

    Cons

    pop ups all the time. Like "winamp is trying to access the internet" Even after you click the "dont show this again" it still comes back. Annoying.

    Summary

    Overall good but takes over the computer a bit. I have gone back to windows firewall (xp) as it just does the job and you rarely see any issues.

    You can right-click the taskbar icon for the firewall, go to options, and disable the notification messages there.
