To All:

Perhaps this is a bit off topic, but I mainly use a software firewall to
check for bad guys trying to phone home. My PC is already behind a
hardware firewall.

I recently replaced my AV which was starting to become bloatware with a
lean and mean AV that I am so far impressed with. When I went to
update, ZoneAlarm, I was amazed at how big the download was. ZoneAlarm
has been moving in the direction of bloatware for a few years now.

Any recommendations on a small and simple BI-DIRECTIONAL software firewall?

Any comments on the Comodo firewall?

Thanks,

Steve
