Comodo Firewall is a well-known and trusted software firewall and acts like a doorman or guard for your computer. This is one of the more difficult and timely tools to implement but in return the firewall will help protect your computer from unauthorised connections accessing your personal information. The user is able to control all requests as the firewall has a set of rules, set by you, about what information should be let in and what information should be let out of your computer.  After an initial learning period, the firewall will work seamlessly, requiring minimal intervention on your part. This tool comes with an installation guide, troubleshooting tips and FAQS.
