Privatefirewall
Version 7.0.22.8
http://www.privacyware.com/personal_firewall.html
Privatefirewall is a Personal Firewall and Host Intrusion Prevention application designed to help individuals and businesses protect Windows desktops and servers from malware and unauthorized use. Privatefirewall addresses the operating system and application level vulnerabilities and intrusion techniques that hackers exploit to gain access and cause damage to private systems and data. Privatefirewall provides an excellent layer of additional protection to the Windows operating system. Beyond unparalleled personal firewall protection, Privatefirewall leverages proprietary HIPS technologies that model and monitor system and application behavior to identify and block activity characteristic of known malware, hacking, phishing and other threat types. Privatefirewall ranks among the best performing desktop defense applications tested against the industry’s most rigorous leak, general bypass, spying and termination tests and is among a short list of free personal firewall and host intrusion prevention software (HIPS) products that fully supports Microsoft’s Windows 7 Operating System.
The Windows boot time has become slow than usually. Difference= 6 sec (-16%).

Privatefirewall is the best. Ive used Zonealarm and got nothing but issues with it not allowing software to run and update issues. Comodo for a long time and always had software issues where Onlinearmor seemed to be the best Over all in Malware protection still would not allow allot of software to run or allot of streaming video Tv Etc… On top of that but their service crew is rude and don’t want to help. Private-wall I haven’t even needed their service crew sense I have had absolutely NO problems in reliability, It doesn’t slow down my computer at all and its the only one that passes ALL and I mean ALL shields up including PING test on XP. Sure I need to run a separate anti virus where PW doesn’t have one but I always found it safer to do so anyway seeming running same wall and Antivirus tends to register only the same viruses where running separate pic up most the same yet also different viruses and Spyware that the other may miss. Course its always best to run full scans with manual scanners built for spy and Malware and run more then one kind in sequential periods but for initial impact PFW has well more then proven its strength more then any other I have found as a free utility firewall and definitely with just a couple other tools added for a bit extra punch just in case, It IS my #1 choice and though I was a skeptic I have found that this IS the best of the best and the others are just the best of the rest. Thank you PW! I hope to be in your debt for a long time coming 😉
Maybe someone can help me then. I installed Privatefirewall last week and uninstalled Zone Alarm, after reading on Major Geeks that one was more recommended than the other. Since that time I've had 3 BSOD's… and just found out tonight after running a 'crash' program that the driver & program that's causing it is the pwipf6.sys from Privacyware/PWI, Inc., or Privatefirewall. So now what???
Any thoughts would be appreciated, and thanks.
