[QUOTE="AK3D, post: 2192444, member: 11389"] Kerio was a simple firewall, and one of the best, till it stopped being supported. It didn't 'send data home'. Comodo is much more in-depth, and you're right, I don't know that it doesn't siphon data. However, it does allow me to stop any application dialling out (including steam games, or any other application), once you set a rule. The one good thing about Comodo is that you can stop even windows system apps from reporting back (stuff like DeviceCensus.exe etc), once you set blocking rules. I'm sure Windows has a lot of other devious ways to get around firewalls and phone home, but a lot of items can be stopped. I agree - it's a good thing to have. I have a proactive config with the alerts popping up on most requests. While annoying, I prefer to be notified and take manual action to allow or disallow applications from accessing the internet or any windows components. [/QUOTE]
