Hello guys

I've been using Comodo Firewall Pro + NOD32 for the past few years without any trouble whatsoever, but I've switched to Windows 7 x64, and Comodo doesn't work any more. Any recommendations for a light firewall for Windows 7 x64??

Thanks

There are several firewalls that will work with windows 7, however none of them are in official release. Only available in beta. Most of them should be available by time of release or shortly there after.

Kaspersky
Comodo
Zonealarm
Eset

Comodo doesn't work with Windows 7, last time I tried to use it.
If installer ran straight, it wouldn't install at all
I set the installer to Vista compatibility mode, and it installed.
I set Comodo's exe to Vista compatibility mode, but any attempt to run any Comodo tool like updater, was ending up with BSOD.
I gave up, and left Windows firewall on.

I've used both Trend micro and Kaspersky. They both worked well. I don't remember how long the trial for KAV was, but Trend has a 30 day fully functional trial.

John Petrucci,

Windows 7RC does include a firewall built into the OS as a nice added feature. However there are several firewalls that would be 7RC compatible. I would head on over to the Microsoft Springboard site and check in on the 7 forums there.

I can only say, that when Windows will come up with truly two-way firewall, some time in the future, I'm pretty sure, more people will use it.
For now, since it's not two-way firewall, we're seeking for some better protection.
