Firewall Study

[SufferWell1396]

I found this intresting when i found it on Comodo's site
now im DEFIANTLY changing my firewall.
I'm using ZoneAlarm Free on 2000, which scores horribly
and im using Filseclab on ME, which scores even worse,
and on XP im using PC Tools Firewall, which scores lowly also.

Having seen this report, there may be a flood of people switching. I hope the websites can keep up.

Keep in mind that this is only one type of test and the results disagree with a number of other tests that have been done by others... The results might be valid, but they also might measure a largely irrelevant variable that other firewalls have not made priority... I am not planning to change to another firewall at this point...

I agree with Budfred, I think I'd wait until the dust settles a bit before jumping out and changing. The individual firewall software developers may have a response to this challenge...

I always look at who is doing/paying for the study first before buying into any conclusions.
