Best Free Firewall Download

An active firewall limits online access to a computer to only those who have proper authorization. A firewall is nothing but a virtual wall that separates a trusted environment (such as a corporate or home network) from an untrusted environment (such as the Internet). It controls and at the same time regulates the traffic between these trusted and untrusted. The trusted environment is protected from harmful activity by viruses, worms or intrusion attacks that may occur from the untrusted side.
So when you have such an environment of computers that exists either at your home or in your office, you should always be aware such that your computers are always protected from harmful activities by unintended persons so as to keep your machine in safe and sound health at the same tme keeping all your stored data safe and secure. To help you doing so, you should install a trusted firewall software on your machine. You may purchase it, but if it can be obtained free, then who wants to deflate his purse? So, try a very good free firewall that I got.
Comodo firewall is very robust and it comes with a well designed intrusion detection system as well. Comodo also supports internet connection sharing. Minus side of this firewall is that the IDS is initially rather talkative and this can unnecessarily alarm inexperienced users. Additionally, Comodo has been known to conflict with some other security products though more recent versions seem to be better in this respect. For the technically initiated this is an outstanding free product and an easy first choice. To install Comodo it requires Windows 2000 or XP SP2.
You can download it from http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/. Give it a try.
