Sunbelt Firewall and VIPRE?

[Mini-Me]

Hi all.
:)

Any of you use these, and what are your opinions?
I am about to buy their anti-virus VIPRE, and you get a 50% off the firewall if you do, which seems like a good deal - just wondering if anyone else uses these...

The website reads pretty good - I'm just trying to guage if it is self-promotional.
...which, I suppose, it has to be to an extent...
:D

Any users opinions would be helpful in my decision.

Tried the Sunbelt FW a while ago. Didn't care for it too much although I can't recall the exact reasons why. Presently using COMODO and am very satisfied with it. And it's free.

Similarly, I used to use AVG AV and switched to AVAST (free) when AVG became too bloated.

Cheers - had not heard of Comodo, so will check them both out before I do anything else...

I think Comodo is a good firewall and is what I use on my windows machines, but when installing make sure you untick everything and only install the firewall. ;)

Good point. I agree.
