Is COMODO Firewall Pro the build-in Windows Firewall? It is no where in
my system. I have Win XP Home SP3.
Thank you,
David
Hello David:
They are two entirely separate things. Windows XP comes with its own
firewall. Comodo's Firewall is considered a "Personal Firewall". Posts
that follow will go three ways. Some will say you need nothing to
supplement Windows Firewall. Others will be equally adamant about
Comodo and others. some will say that the Windows Firewall is /almost/
adequate. I run the free Comodo CIS on one of several XP Pro systems
and I'm comfortable with it. Comodo CIS Pro takes you towards
protection "suites" which are usually not well regarded by many.
Instead of an investment in CIS Pro, you may wish to examine your need
for a modern inexpensive NAT router - even if you have only one computer.
Good wishes to you.
