Lifehacker Votes Comodo Best Firewall for Windows
2008-10-23
Jersey City, NJ, October 22, 2008 - Readers of Lifehacker (lifehacker.com),
the enormously popular web lifestyle blog owned by Gawker Media, voted Comodo
Firewall Pro the best Windows Firewall available on the web. As part of
Lifehacker's regular High Five Feature, which asks readers to select the best
five products for a service and then vote on the best, Comodo received nearly
31% of the 3400 votes cast, nearly 400 votes more than the standard Windows
Firewall, which came in second.
"I've used several different firewalls and COMODO catches everything coming in
or going out," one Lifehacker commenter noted. "It's prevented several of my
applications from accessing the internet when I don't want them to." Another
commenter noted, "I used ZoneAlarm for a good, long time... then reverted back a
few versions because the newer ones were getting bloated. I finally switched to
Comodo and never looked back."
Lifehacker's High Five Call for Contenders feature, which has become a staple of
the blog since March, lets users nominate the best products for a service, and
then vote on the five that receive the most recommendations. In addition to
receiving more votes than Windows Firewall, Comodo Firewall Pro beat out ESET
Security Software, ZoneAlarm, and the standard built in firewall of routers to
win LifeHackers High Five best Windows firewall competition.
Lifehacker, which receives roughly 20 million visitors a month and has been
named by Time magazine as one of their "25 Sites We Can't Live Without," has
become one of the leading online sources for lifestyle improvement and
enhancement of the online experience. Both Lifehacker and Comodo share the goal
of making the online experience, as easy, useful, and secure as possible. Comodo
Firewall Pro, and indeed all Comodo products, are a product of this goal.
