Get iolo Personal Firewall For Free until December 31, 2010

I once given iolo Personal Firewall a go, and the result of that experience is negative. Not only did iolo Personal Firewall left some ports open wide to potential intrusion, but it can be expensive for a firewall that did not perform any better than Window's own built-in firewall. The only credit i can say about iolo Personal Firewall is that it has a nice interface, is pretty educational for beginners and that it is highly compatible with existing antivirus...well at least it would prove to be useful for users who wanted to learn something about firewall protection!

Apparently iolo realized how the built-in firewall on Windows 7 offers better protection than their own firewall, so they ended their product support for iolo Personal Firewall since December 1 2009, meaning that users using Personal Firewall can no longer go to iolo tech support for assistance if they ran into any trouble. The good thing though, is that iolo decided to give away iolo Personal Firewall for free up until December 31 2010, before officially pulling out availability of their firewall starting January 1 2011. It well means that as of today, users can download a copy of iolo Personal Firewall for free with some nine months grace period remaining.

Here are some of the features of iolo Personal Firewall:

• Proprietary IntelliDefense™ eliminates frustrating prompts using automatic program classification technology
• Always-on protection that runs transparently in the background
• Hassle-free setup protects your PC from the moment of installation
• Stealth mode makes your PC invisible to hackers
• Does not interfere with full-screen games or other software
• Intuitive interface makes protecting your PC easy
• Extremely efficient technology does not slow your system down

iolo Personal Firewall works on all 32-bit versions of Windows 2000, XP and Vista with Internet Explorer 6 (SP2 included) installed. As mentioned earlier, if you are a Windows 7 user, you don't really have to bother downloading and installing this firewall since Windows 7's own firewall performs better. However, for users who are sticking with the older OS, they can give it a try.
