• #1 choice for the paranoid user's IT-toolbox!

  snurrbergetNovember 30, 2009

  Pros

  This nifty application lets you monitor (in detail) the communication between processes running on your PC and the outside world. And, it has a very nice userinterface! So if youre wondering if "something" has hijacked you PC, this is it.

  Cons

  I would love something like wireshark (ethereal) integrated with this product, so you can actually rip the contents of a suspicious connection.

• Tried it. Wiped it. A Dirty Program.

  scoeeJune 5, 2009

  Pros

  Very effective firewall. Could be up there with the best except for some MAJOR problems.

  Cons

  On 3 diffent PC's. Same problems occured. 1. Random shutdowns. 2. C: router problems. Whatever this is. 3. Difficult to learn and somewhat unsupported in the Help regions.

  Summary

  Bug detected in the download, but maybe it was a false positive, or could be the cause of the random shut-downs. Would not install after bug cleaned so reinstated it. Sorry I did. TPF 6.5 is dangerous on my PC's. Unstable, and too many WTF? issues. Try the TPF2 - 2.0.14 free version (2001 version?). Not too bad and extremely simple, but had one PC randomly shut down within the first few days, but 2 Weeks later, all OK. Has lots of easy to configure stuff too. Not sure yet if it is good, excellent or whatever. Still can't beat the very annoying but very powerful free Comodo FW for protection

• It Was Good Before

  gway17November 28, 2007

  Pros

  At first it seemed to be a pain. Then I realized that If it seemed irritating, it was because it was doing what it was designed to do.<p>It worked well for a long time and did a very good job.<p>Now, there must be holes that a virus can get thru as I've had several that "ride" in on my TPF. Turned off TPF and I haven't had any more problems.<p>Too bad as it was a nice little product.

  Cons

  Seems to no longer block the bad stuff.<p>A bit pricey for what it does.

• Decent but not fully functional

  warspartanJanuary 22, 2007

  Pros

  This is a small download and I think it still works unsupported.

  Cons

  you can't access anything on it, it just runs and there are no viruses, if just will make a lousy computer crash, because, its lousy. Completely safe and if you don't believe me scan it! its that easy!

• Excellent but requires effort. Sadly, it is virtually unsupported.

  ITsourceAugust 16, 2006

  Pros

  If you spend the time to learn the full functionality of this product, you will grow to appreciate what makes this firewall powerful in the extreme and be rewarded with excellent intrusion prevention for your Windows or Windows Server run PC.

  Cons

  Will initially ask permission for everything that happens on your system, which can become annoying even for experienced users. This product is virtually unsupported since the acquisition of Tiny Software by Computer Associates.

• used to be...

  gbh1935June 5, 2006

  Pros

  used to be a favoriate of mine, but...

  Cons

  but now with the firewalls built into everything (home routers, norton, xp)I don't find it as useful as it used to be.
