Default Free Firewall??

Yes, indeed! I haven't stopped using Kerio 2.1.5. While I connect through a
router w. firewall, I still run a software firewall to tell me what wants to
get out. In fact, in XP I also leave the Windows Firewall running in case
the router packs up and I plug in the USB modem, forgetting that I'm no
longer behind a hardware firewall when for whatever reason I disable Kerio
(the Windows Firewall, of course - like the router - doesn't notify on
outbound traffic). The two co-exist without issues.

Kerio 2.1.5 won't run in Vista or later, or in any 64-bit Win version, but
in 98, 2000, Me and XP it runs just fine still.

A personal concern about Comodo stuff: when they use Winzip Self-Extractor
to package their Password Manager (and who knows what else) but include in
it an Installshield icon to make the user think they used that 'rather more
professional' tool, just how trustworthy a security software co. are they?
