Thanks champ but that does not contain a firewall check the pic i provided. They say if you buy that you have the possibility to upgrade to a firewall.

When it comes to superiority then Comodo as the edge (at all terms) for this but Spyshelter Firewall can be worth to try as it include Sandbox Mode for restricted apps to assign.

If I'm not mistaken, trying to test the simulation leak test from Comdo will give it a perfect ratings.

I couldn't use this product because of it's interference to several programs. One of which include completely blocking Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit from being able to product anything. It was denied hooking into anything. I believe it is too aggressive and do not recommend it unless you are willing to train it. Even with training/custom settings, it will still ruin programs like Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. I believe SpyShelter is working on a fix for this though. Note that I was using SpyShelter Premium but the firewall might have this anti-hook feature also. I was too angry to test.

Well the good thing is I don't think anything will get past this thing. It's like a damn vault. With lasers.

Just ignore the hook blocking, the hook blocking is harmless, it doesn't prevent Malwarebytes from doing its job, and besides if you can always create a custom a rule for it. It's probably just bocking the send whatever anonymously etc options.

Edit:

I have Spyshelter installed the Malwarebytes anti exploit... the main feature of Malwarebytes anti exploit works just fine wihout a custom rule... passed the test file. Untick those send anonymously boxes and those rampant hook blocks will stop
