is Comodo a good firewall?

Agreed, the Win7 built in firewall does a good job. Unless you have any special requirements Monkey?
I've been using Comodo for a year and its done a good job for me so far, Comodo's firewall is widely acknowledged as one of the top ones and is the best part of Comodo's free security suite that I'm using, that includes AntiVirus, but install the firewall only if you prefer.
It's free not because it's poor but because it's good publicity for their Business version which is basically the same but they charge for it's support.
It has pros and cons, like any, lots of popups early on to train it in what to allow when first connecting programs but excellent defense.
Here is a useful review, quite old but still relevant http://review.techworld.com/security/3212500/comodo-firewall-review/
It was the top ranked on matousec.com testing site, but they have started retesting all the brands now and the new results for it aren't in yet, still, if it was top before it suggests Comodo know what they're doing at least.
Anyway I guess I'm biased cause I have it, but in my opinion the answer would be yes.
