ESET will release a firewall in an integrated solution, Smart Security. But the competition is very rough! Wink

Agree! Also, I don't think ESET will be "free for life", like Comodo... Smiley

While it will not even be close to comodo firewall. It may be better then alot of other firewalls including zone alarm and windoz firewall (then again anything is better then windows firewall)

zone alarm?  its the best firewall you can get! (comodo passes leak tests better but if you enable ZA's component control no leaktest can win)

LOL! Yeah, I think many have left ZoneAlarm for Comodo.

thats because they use the standard settings when they do their leak tests.   Besides outbound protection isnt that big of a deal.  Zone Alarm blocks everything (inbound) so thats all that matters.

i have no clue.  i know that nod32 is a superb antivirus, and if your behind a router that has a firewall im sure the eset firewall should be more then enough.

I can't agree on this one. Only with leak-safe outbound protection you'll know if your AV (or your personal judgement) has missed something, that tries to hijack your browser. Saying that inbound protection is all that matters, would be the same as "Windows' firewall is all you need". Then there would hardly be any need of Comodo Firewall, or ZoneAlarm either.

True true.  Zone Alarm only failed a few leaktests which is more then enough for me.  I am not worried about viruses ect because i surf smart and dont use IE Wink

Firewall detection of outbound traffic is important.

To plug the pesky little add-ons & plug-ins that developers bundle with their products!

Not to mention software, viruses, trojans & worms that try to 'call home'.
