Is this Firewall better than Outpost Firewall or ZoneAlarm Pro..? Since it is Free version, I have doubt..

What this firewall lacks..? Help me..

This firewall has always been good :) to say its freeware... its perfect! :)

Version 3.0.16.295
NEW! Anti-Leak Configuration:
- A new default configuration is introduced to make D+ show fewer number of popup alerts while still remaning leak proof.
NEW! On-Demand Virus Scanning:
- CFP now provides an option to scan for viruses during the installation and from its graphical user interface
NEW! A-VSMART Warranty Program:
- CFP now provides the users an option to enroll one of the available A-VSMART Warranty programs
IMPROVED! Self-Defense:
- There has been various reports that CFP 3.0 is attacked by some malware to disable its protection.
The self defense has been modified such that an ungraceful termination of CFP will block every unknown action (i.e. it will function as if "Block all unknown actions if the application is closed" option is selected. This option was not enabled by default).
IMPROVED! Default Configuration:
- Default configuration now protects more registry keys and more COM interfaces.
- Default Web Browser and FTP Client policies are modified to support passive FTP requests
IMPROVED! Handling of known code executing applications:
- Defense+ has been modified such that some known code executing programs such as rundll32.exe or windows scripting host are not autimatically trusted anymore.
IMPROVED! Pending Files:
- Defense+ has been modified such that it is not going to report any pending files if it is not in clean PC mode.
FIXED! Bugs in Defense+ Engine:
- Fixed numerous bugs that could stop Defense+ to properly handle the suspicious actions(e.g.bugs in registry and file protection, key logging etc).
- Fixed the bug that could prevent CFP from functioning properly in certain types of hardware configurations(e.g. when a USB harddisk is present etc.).
FIXED! Minor Bugs in the Graphical User Interface

I can't say it's better, but it is good enough for normal people

The original v3 crashed and burned. I told the people that made it all about it.

And lo and behold they really fixed it.

I'm impressed.

This is the firewall to get. I run both x86 and x64 systems and it is exactly what everyone should have.

Seriously! This is the best FW. Works great with Vista and NOD32.

And free too boot.

NOTE: This version will run only on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
