    I have been using ZoneAlarm for a long time but recently I noticed that it got very poor leak test ratings and also very poor rating on Major Geeks.
    I have heard great things about Comodo firewall - has anyone used this or do you have recommendations on other top firewall software [freeware]?
    Thank you.

    I just installed Comodo this week, and it seems to be working fine. I was using Zone Alarm, but switched after reading the leak test ratings here. Comodo was tops among both freeware and paid.

    Please familiarize youself with Major Geeks file systems. Most of these are downloadable here at MGs and since these forums only exist due to income obtained via the main file system's available downloads, it is very important that you link to and download from Major Geeks!

    For specific firewall software see this page which is just one of the many links from the left side of the Main page.

    According to reviews the Comodo is at the top.

    I prefer Outpostv1.1 (free version).

    If know how to work rules, and willing to put some learning energy, this one is an Interesting Firewall, http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=5470
