I installed Sunbelt Kerio because I was tired of fighting with Comodo. After several weeks I have decided it's no better. Very often it will not accept the OK I give it--the alert and permission screen won't go away until I exit the program completely.

So today I uninstalled it, and downloaded and installed the latest Zone Alarm free version. I know it's not the best or most thorough firewall, but so far it seems to be the least intrusive and the best behaved. I have Anti-hook, Comodo BOClean, and Avast anti-virus installed, and I am behind a router. I think I am defended quite well enough. Exclamation

The good old Kerios are better than the good old ZAs.

I suppose you are referring to the latest SPF?

The only good versions, that I know of, are SKPF 4.3.268, Kerio 4.2.2.911 (both to be found at Filehippo) and Kerio 2.1.5. Recommended.

This may be true sometimes, but also it's because it's adding rules for both Network Secuirty & Packet Filter...

Yeah, just imagine that the new (Sunbelt) Kerio had the same interface... I wish :F :S Or even better, if Comodo got same/similar alert interface to Kerio 2.1.5. Wishful thinking again, I know xD
