    "Firewall is user-hostile"

    by lodurr on December 20, 2009

    Pros: Didn't find any.

    Cons: Firewall is user-hostile: can't be truly disabled, VERY inadequate blocking options, DEP incompatabilities essentially mean you can never unblock a host once it's blocked. Poorly designed/executed UI always pops up new windows half-off-screen.

    Summary: This was a negative experience from day 1. Wasn't able to use my networked printer, even after disabling the firewall -- I have to completely disable Panda to even see the printer, even though it's not on the blacklist and the firewall is disabled. I don't have an issue with that level of protection -- what I have an issue with is that there's effectively NO CONTROL over the degree of protection.
