What do you think about ZoneAlarm products?
- You can configure Comodo Firewall how you like - HIPS OFF or ON - Default or Not , have many features for you to menage the way how you want - (maybe by the cruelsister settings). ....... Don't give up too easy from Comodo Firewall. ....... - Just a Tip -I started using the free version of just the firewall yesterday. I tried Windows Firewall Control first, but it didn't seem to offer the features I need, as it seems it will block outgoing connections for any software unless you manually whitelist it. I avoided Comodo, as wanted just a firewall without any HIPS.
I'm liking it a lot so far, as it is only a firewall, without extras I don't need. I'm using the default configuration and not received alerts yet when software makes an outgoing connection. I'm a but surprised by this, as I thought I would receive alerts for at least some software, such as some of the PUPs I use.
But, based from what I read somewhere, it will not disable it completely. Anyway, I am going to try Comodo now on one of my test computers.- You can configure Comodo Firewall how you like - HIPS OFF or ON - Default or Not , have many features for you to menage the way how you want - (maybe by the cruelsister settings). .......

ZoneAlarm is causing an issue with Panda. When I'm doing heavy downloading, I'm getting 10% (and sometimes much higher) CPU showing in Task Manager from the System process. Process Explorer tells me that it is a process from Panda that using the CPU time. I never had that issue before installing ZoneAlarm. So I am going to have to replace ZA with Comodo or something else anyway.
Also, I'm quite surprised that ZA has not prompted me even once when a program wants to access the internet. I haven't launched anything malicious, but have run plenty of PUPs, and ZA has remained silent.
So, in theory at least, it should work with other antiviruses. But in any case, aside from the problems installing it, Comodo is working just fine as a replacement, so I did not lose anything by ditching ZA.ZoneAlarm Free Firewall 2017 is compatible with MS Windows Defender, and is also compatible with all other antivirus solutions.
I just had a look at one of her videos about configuring Comodo. It looks interesting, but I'm not sure if that configuration will suit my needs. I only want to prompted when Panda or Comodo detects a virus or when Comodo detects that a new program is trying to access the internet. I find Panda to be extremely light.@roger_m : comodo firewall with cruelsisters settings is a way better choice and lighter , you can even ditch panda free with this setup
