comodo firewall version 2.4

I've used this new release, non-beta version for more than 4 days now. All I can say is that the cpu load on cmdagent.exe (comodo firewall service) is gone. In these conditions I can only advise desktop users looking for a free and performing solution to install this firewall. It includes features matching some of it's best commercial competitors:

- application, component and network monitor (ability to fully customize rules)
- connections and event logs
- animated tray icon showing traffic (switchable)
- advanced features including packet checksum verification
- adjustable alert frequency level ( valuable for experienced user)
- own registry keys protection
- misc. tasks including the ability to define a trusted network, a banned or trusted application

and a very good support team running a forum at: comodo forum
the firewall download link will be found on the comodo website.

it seems important to mention here that to the future of this firewall belongs a 3.0 version that will include a full HIPS (host intrusion prevention system), among other improvements (that's according to members of the development team at Comodo). A final version should be available in march or april this year (I guess beta testing will start in the coming weeks).

update on this post: Spyware Terminator auto-updated both its software and its database a bit earlier tonight on my PC, and as soon as I started again the UI after that, Comodo Firewall detected a change in the signature of ST.exe, hence I got an alert. Good, very good!
