"fantastic program"
Version: Windows 7 Firewall Control 5.1.7.69
Pros
-lightweight and easy to use
-gives me control of outbound programs
-doesn't affect stability of system (b/c its written in same programing language as native windows firewall). in my experiance with firewalls, they eventually conflict due to driver, or have stability issues. this one seems immune to those problems.
-can easily block a program and unblock it for quick updates, etc.
-loads fastCons
nothing as of yet.
Summary
i have used it for a couple years now and have never had a problem. i use windows 7 64 bit. i have tried all other freeware firewalls and eventually had conflicts or stability issues and/or crashes. this one is native windows and works excellent.
program was updated and is now slightly different. still seems to work great. but has more options (some of which are for paid version). not a big deal. just use allow or disallow (block) function and turn off recommended check box. these functions are all you need.

"Simple, lite, and very effective."
Version: Windows 7 Firewall Control 5.1.7.69
Pros
-I have 0 complaints.
-It blocks EVERYTHING that the stand-alone windows 7 firewall does not detect!
-Has blocked many viruses and ads from attempting to connect to the internet.Cons
-It does its purpose.
Summary
I actually do not get any trial-version prompts or messages.
This thing functions like the full version, if it does not through CNET, then Google another link. I am not using the full or pirated version - but so far its been running flawlessly w/o prompts.
Trial version does not give you the option to block system processes from accessing the internet, but "most" of these don't need monitoring anyway. -
"Incessant "Register" window pop-up"
Version: Windows 7 Firewall Control 5.1.7.69
Pros
Functions like ZoneAlarm to block outgoing traffic
Cons
Pops up a "register" window every few minutes. Apparently the way to register a free program is to pay $30 for a license key.
Summary
You get what you pay for.

"Total Junk"
Version: Windows 7 Firewall Control 5.1.7.69
Pros
none that i could find
Cons
it installed 2 browser add ons that i did not ask for. it highjacked my home page on 3 of my browsers. it blocked everything and would not allow anything through, even after clicking on enable all. it wasted my time having to get rid of the junk that it put on. i.e. funmode toolbars and wejam search bars.i was very dissapointed with the software, and very dissapointed with cnet for putting such rubbish on their site for download.
Summary
if you are thinking of putting this software on your computer, i have one word of advice for you. DON'T !
i would have given it no stars, but i have to give it at least one in order to post this review.
