Pros: keeps out wanna-be hackers Cons: -0-
Black Ice Defender is one of the best firewall protection systems on the market today, IMHO. As soon as it was installed I noticed 15 attacks come in to my network setup. (That compared to the boxes notification that 4-5 a day is...

Pros: Are there any...? Cons: Stop sending me junk mail!!!
I was looking for a personal firewall and a few people on Epinions.com had recommended BlackICE Defender and so, although I normally like to find a download that is completely free, I thought I would try BlackICE for the 30 day free trial and then either...

Pros: Very good defender Cons: Still can be hacked
Black Ice is one of the best firewalls out there, in my opinion. Black ice has many options for users if they want to be very care, careful, or careless. The firewall can be disabled and it tracks everything that tries to get through you ports to hack...

Pros: Easy to Use Cons: Not as Reliable as a Hardware Firewall
I've had my cable modem for 3 days now, and in 3 days there have been 176 attacks on my system. I should be worried. I'm not. I should fear for the safety of my data. I'm not. You see, I spent $39 and picked up NetworkIce's BlackICE Defender...

Pros: The warning (wav) file is somewhat annoying if you activate the sound feature for probes. Cons: Without a doubt, the leader of internet security software.
O.K., you're a telecommuter on the WWW. All of a sudden, without warning and without your knowledge, someone probes your computer; gathering information about your system, email, and hardware.
All is not lost. In addition to your virus...

Pros: Easy to set up, does its job Cons: Yearly fees
There are (in my opinion) three factors that should be looked at when deciding which 'firewall' to install on your computer.
1) Easy of installation. Hey, I don't care if the software (or hardware)is as secure as Fort Knox, if it's a bear to...

Pros: Worked better than we expected Cons: None that I can see
After installing our cable modem, the guy who did it recommended this firewall. He said it was designed by a consortium of developers and that he thought it was the best on the market. So we went and checked it out. Very easy to download and self...

Pros: Easy to use.
Has online advice for each attack.
Good graphical interface. Cons: Not freeware..
This is a firewall for the private person at home.
It has good features like blocking NetBIOS and File Sharing services that is a really security problem in Windows.
The graphical interface is one of the better seen in firewalls. It is pretty...

Pros: Blocks hackers Cons: Annoys you in file transfers
This is a great utility. It blocks off people from hacking into my computer. I hate hackers and don't undertand why they dont get a life and leave others alone. Well it doesn't work that way so there is BlackICE. It is an easy to use firewall. It...

Pros: Started out great in the beginning... Cons: Updates made my computer a nightmare!
I purchased this as a download last fall. Everything went fine, worked great until... when I would get the latest updates! One of the recent updates included a "Application Protection" that took over my C:drive and asked me every two seconds if I...
