The program is easy to install/use and provides protection right "out of the box". The interface will accommodate advanced users as well as novice users, it does not overload you with options and features, yet provides access to powerful rule settings and filers for advanced users via the right click menu. Privatefirewall offers everything that you`d expect from a personal firewall, including Packet Filtering, Internet traffic (packet) filtering, port scanning, IP tracking, SecurePOP email protection, and a proprietary Application Control Engine, which monitors all applications that access the Internet. The program integrates with the Windows Security Center, and offers a choice of 3 different profile settings for at home, at work and on the road, which makes it especially interesting for Notebook users that frequently connect to other networks.

Over rated 1 stars by jakestone1954878 Apr 29, 2012
Well for myself found this very over rated , done various leak tests and did not fair that well on Windows 7 , and it has a habit of crashing have seen various other reviews that have said the same PC Flank failed , commodo is far better , and on XP I have found PC Tools firewall to pass all. showShow review details
Very good free firewall 4 stars by ianmacm Feb 25, 2012 (Read all my 144 reviews)
Privatefirewall gets the balance about right, as it is not too fussy, difficult to understand or set up for first timers. It is also light on system resources and generally unobtrusive. Recommended as a good starting point for someone who wants a free firewall. showShow review details
Passes everything for me 5 stars by whiskeydence02205 Feb 22, 2012
...Passes everything for me. And If you trust the leak test you're being faked out. It passes 2 others and unlike GRC others aren't trying to sell ZA or any other firewall. Learn to set the damn settings and rerun the tests, this time use a PCflank then come back and tell us what you see. BY THE WAY, I run XP and out of all the others and that includes Zone Alarm, Comodo, Online Armor etc... Privatefirewall was the ONLY firewall to pass that god forsaken ECHO PING test. And I haven't seen enough in the DNS server tests from past tests to say where any of them are all that great in that area as well. Made computer clunky, it's junk. (GRC vs PCflank vs GRC product to prove bogus leak test YouTube) showShow review details
