I was doing a search on "comodo firewall" on www.alltheweb.com (cool search engine) and I came accross this advert from AVG (attached) :-)

AVG is advertising their partner firewall as an alternative to Comodo at a mere $14.95! :-)

I just wanted to share this with you :-)

Hi Melih,

lets compare  Grin

AVG+Kerio=doesn't pass all leaktests, didn't always stealth my PC properly, have to pay (to use with AVG), I got a virus after switching to it, etc.  Tongue

Comodo = does pass all leaktests, never had a problem with stealth or anything else, free, never been infected, offers the best protection available (IMO), etc.  Cool Wink

Conclusion = Comodo's not really the best to compare to unless you want to loose customers.  Not the best marketing for them, but good for you, lol.

 Have to say, AVG marketing crew must have been tipping the bottle on that one, a good free firewall replaced by one that doesn't do it's job for 15 bucks? lolll. What's next , AVG anti virus and firewall , 15.00 for both or for the low price of 7.50 each when you buy 2?   Tongue

i don't think people who use free comodo products will change it to products such as AVG to SAVE MORE MONEY . i don't think at least me change my beautiful comodo security group for some ugly windows 3.1 style antivirus with poor detection and hard to understand firewall like kerio .  i don't think there's people think in that way  Undecided

I agree, the Comodo interface is very attractive to the eye.

I like it, but I would like it even more if I could figure out how to install Nepenthes on it...

 An alternative to Comodo only 14.95. The new slogan,

  If you are tired of paying absolutely NOTHING for a FULL good working attractive to the eye firewall, try our ugly version for only 14.95!  Tongue

   The more I see this, the more I can't believe it. I know it's old news now but seriously.
