Lavasoft Personal Firewall Review

Lavasoft Personal Firewall 3 is designed for both home and experienced users that detects and prevents thousands of potential spyware, adware, keyloggers, trojans, and other harmful intrusions from infecting your computer or stelaing your personal information.

Lavasoft Personal Firewall 3 is the ultimate in firewall protection that will never let any intruder in. Your PC is safe and your personal information is safe - even when you are entering it into web pages. We were surprised at how easy it is to install under the default configuration as it automatically detected software to allow that was already installed on our machine. We were equally surpried to see all the advanced settings you can apply if you wish to do it yourself...

During installation, Lavasoft Personal Firewall successfully detected that we had antivirus and an Internet Sucurity Suite software already installed, and it modified its own installation to coexist and run with them. At the end of the installation we were presented with two simple configuration buttons, Advanced protection and Normal protection. The Advanced prevention is recommended for advanced users, as it provides a wide range of additional levels of protection against malicious programs. Normal is sufficient for the majority of users that have little or some knowledge about firewalls. After rebooting, Lavasoft Personal Firewall managed to configure its own connections already knowing applications like Yahoo Messenger and Windows.

Opening Lavasoft Personal Firewall shows a convenient list of all programs involved in network activity. Right clicking any file allows you to block or accept on the fly. New to Lavasoft Personal Firewall version 3.0 is Web control, which restricts access to sites known to be unsafe. It also keeps an eye on unauthorized use of cookies and stops ads from appearing on web sites if they contain any keywords you defined. If you enter a site that is trying to access your PC you are notified with a little popup where you can allow it once, always allow it or block it from accessing your PC.

Another great feature of Lavasoft Personal Firewall is its ConnectNET community. The ConnectNET feature allows you to anonymously share information about applications to other Lavasoft Personal Firewall members. This way you can ensure that you always stay protected as if a threat is discovered you are notified straight away.

Lavasoft Personal Firewall is unobtrusive, as it already knows about most of the programs you use, it has an easy to use interface, and it works well with any antivirus, anti-spware, Internet Security Suites or other real-time scanning software you might be using. Even though Windows already provides its own free Windows Firewall, Lavasoft's more advanced features and easy-to-understand interface makes it well worth the money.
