PrivateFirewall 7.0 Review
Pros
  • 1. FREE

    2. Pretty Light on Ram

    3. Nice and User friendly Interface

    4. Blocked almost all the executed files

    5. 300/340 Comodo Leak Test

    6. Easy For Non Experienced Users
CONS
1. Outdated Interface

2. When Executing 5 safe programs to install, it wanted to block malwarebytes and some parts of kingsoft office free 2013
BOTTOM LINE
According to my video, PrivateFirewall did a great job at protecting me. The only thing I would like for them to improve dramatically is the outdated interface. The last thing I would like to say is that, if you are installing safe programs, stay near your PC so PrivateFirewall does not block it, but it does not block all safe apps, just some.

1. I do not understand the question
2. I just have eset smart security 7 to protect me and that is it. I do not know if I answered the question right
3. PrivateFirewall does not have a removal tool that I know of
4. I honestly have full respect for herdprotect. I am waiting for "Scan and Remove" to be "(Release completed)" and then I will do a part 2 video on it.

Thanks for the review, very well explained :)
About the interface..I know what you think :p
In my opinion, the UI on taskbar looks like kindergarten :D but apart from that...it's pretty nice and handy program, I like it :)

haha I also like it very much, that is why I installed it in my brothers laptop with avast free because he did not feel like purchasing a antivirus!lol

Hi,

Question #1. Are you still using Bitcasa?
Reason, I ask is that see copy in between eset and opera.:)
This is why, I ask Did you chance you backup software?

Ohh haha my Bad
I do not use bitcasa anymore because they simply do not have the windows phone app ready. I am the type of person were I need a phone app of that back up software. They have it in the windows app store, but it is still being developed. Once it is fully released, then I will go back to using bitcasa because it is an amazing back up software.
