Hello!

We recommend Comodo for Windows on the basis of objective tests on pro-active security. The PCMag article you refer to unfortunately lacks the depth and the objectiveness of such tests. Although the writer is a very competent person, the article seems to be targeted unfortunately to readers with rudimentary or none technical knowledge (the sentence "Super-techie users will love it; ordinary folks may be a bit overwhelmed." is disconcerting, to say the least).

Compare the poorly mentioned tests of the PCMag article (for Comodo but also for ZoneAlarm) with the detailed and reproducible tests performed here:

That said, we have always underlined that Windows lacks a real powerful packet filtering tool. If compared to iptables and pf, Windows firewalls are weak and lacking important functions.

But there's no alternative for Windows users, so we recommend to use the firewall that at least passes successfully the highest number of leak tests, and Comodo performs better than any other software firewall for Windows. This is just a recommendation, of course we also recommend that you form your own, informed opinion and pick your firewall accordingly.

Kind regards
