Add the Freeware version from PC Tools Firewall Plus To the list.. Armor2net was a good for P2P one but lacks a lot of missing features and tends to crash a lot it use some sort of Bulldog.dll for spyware rouge detectors. I've been using PTFP for 3 months now all systems are using it. P2P was the real test and dwl speed was over 1.65 which is good for my router.
I see you didn't mention DSA from Privacyware another freeware one but it tends to be very buggy. |
