Is the Comodo Firewall any good?

I also do the same. I have used Zone Alarm for several years, but you would have to agree that it is getting larger, and slower, every release. Maybe you did not use it, say five years ago, when it was fast, secure, and had more features. email scanning is the latest feature to be removed from the free version. My brother purchased ZoneAlarm Pro (because I had installed the free version, and he wanted all of the features), and he is not happy with it. Apparently it is not remembering his responses to the pop-up windows, even though he checks the "remember" box. I never had this problem with the free version, so I do not know what is going on with his version.
