Firewall Discussion

[Leo]

Well, I've finally done it, I've gotten rid of avast! Home Edition. It was far to much of a resource hog, and has losts its touch from what it used to be compared to other virus shields. So, I've gotten ESET Smart Security (also known as NOD32 for all who are unfamiliar). Now, ESET has come with it's own personal firewall, right? Well, now the decision comes to mind. Which firewall would be considered better, Comodo or ESET? Comodo simply being a free firewall program that's done it's job (I hope...) so far, while ESET is a professional program. Then again, being free or buying something doesn't make a difference on what's better. All I need is something that will forsure block any outgoing connections I want (or any pending ones), that's what I need the most out of a firewall.

So, might as well ask, anyone ever had experience with the two?

ESET is amazing. On my PC back home, it uses very little resources and the settings are easy to configure. While if you crank up the settings to do a scan, update, and regestry check at the same time, it will load your PC down a little bit because...well...that's a lot of things at once for the program to verify. When you setup the program, make sure that you have those set for different times. I would send you a screenshot, but I don't have any access to my PC back home in the states for another 22 days, or else I would.

Go with ESET, it's the best firewall that I've ever found and with little processing power.
