Fascinating... and it shows yet another reason to keep the built-in
Windows firewall turned OFF. It's the only one that failed ALL the
tests. There is absolutely no reason to use it, and I don't.
I never heard of those highest-scoring ones. I'll have to check
them out. I use a hardware firewall, but a personal firewall can
be useful for controlling the external communications of software
already on your PC.
My employer installs Zone Alarm Pro on all the company laptops. I
find it interesting that there are two free firewalls (Online Armor
and Comodo) that perform better.
