Title: Leak-tests results.
Post by: mistybear on December 15, 2006, 10:52

I suppose you can't call this news, and I'm not sure if you would call it useful software or a useful site. Nor do I think that the results are at all surprising, maybe I should have posted under the laughter zone, as I'm sure some of you will find it amusing.

maybe but it does have quite an interesting list and analysis of all the firewall software out there... quite pleased to see zone alarm up there, as I use this in windows.

I just thought a few might find windows xp firewall rating quite amusing.
I use zone alarm as well but not pro, so I don't know how the free version rates.

Nice to see Comodo Personal Firewall at the top, given that there's a free version (see our Firewalls tab at the top of the forum).   :santa:

i'm pretty sure the core of zone alarm's performance will be the same... and yes xp is quite amusing! lol

as for comodo, umm, might have to have a play

Yes I was tempted for a couple of seconds, about Comodo, but I'm still getting to know zone alarm.
Let me know if it's easier than zone alarm.

I've swapped from Zone Alarm to Comodo recently and I find it much easier to setup and my PC seems to run quicker too with it.
