Webroot Desktop Firewall

It a firewall very interesting product from Webroot (SpySweeper the same company) on some of the things which shall be called for Comodo Personal Firewall: by default it just freezes (chances are that a malicious program is able to bring out the he wants the computer without the firewall problems), while if we change any parameter becomes the best firewall, able to filter out most of the threats (he has passed all the tests that I raised, as shown by comparison firewall).

Basically we have to choose whether to leave it in its default configuration, where Webroot Desktop Firewall does not block almost anything that comes out of this computer, or change any parameter, especially (Process Monitor, setting it to Medium), making the firewall much stronger, but also more irritating to the user (often asks what to do).

Among the positive notes, the ease with which you can block lists of IP or undesirable websites.
Among the less positive note, the fact that this firewall, by default, to let go 3 days out everything on your computer, considering now trust: if we have a trojan on your PC without our knowledge, him considered a trusted program. If a feature like that bothers you, you should deselect the Enable Training Mode.

Valid firewall, though, at least until now, my personal preference is to Comodo and Outpost.
