I would use COMODO Firewall! because it has the best proactive protection and is more lightweight than most other firewalls...

I tried Comodo firewall with settings recommended in a thread by cruelsister. The thread was titled(Regarding Comodo) if I remember right. This has been a very easy to use and the center of our security . I can only thank cruelsister for making the original thread . I can't imagine you wouldn't be totally satisfied with it.

Windows Firewall,

I see no Necessity of more programs consuming machine resources. including the patience to train, configure the program to recognize the applications and same like this the alerts are intrusive.

Even disabled, to get your machine has to go through the router firewall after run the application has to go through the SmartScreen filter and UAC.

It's only my opinion :)

Hmmmm everyone seems to vote for Comodo FW.
Now my stand point on Comodo fail wall is clear, but that being said i have a alternative that does not require any tweaking and it does not even use ANY system resources.

I assume you have a router from your ISP which you use to connect to the Internet right?
Well if thats the case then you have a Hardware based firewall in it for free, it does not need tweaking, it does not need updates, it does not need any manual labor, hell you do not even know its there and yet it does a 1000 times better job then CFW.
Just log in to your router and see if its enabled.

Step 2: Enable Windows firewall.

And you are done.

That being said if a hacker bypasses your RHFW (Router Hardware Firewall) then Comodo will not stop it either as its WAY beyond anything Comodo can bring to the table.

Case closed + 100% result.

Cheers
