Review:

PC Tools Firewall Plus is a free personal firewall extremely simple to use. As good firewall which is respected, it controls the inbound and outgoing traffic of your connection and informs you when it detects a suspect access. It profits from a pleasant and clear interface.

The beginners are extremely likely to appreciate PC Tools Firewall Plus because it functions as of its installation finished, without it being necessary to configure anything. If you enter in expert mode, you have the hand on more parameters and receive more detailed messages.

Via the heading Applications, it is easy to authorize or block the software being able to reach the Network. You can also define rules to manage your traffic. PC Tools Firewall Plus lists all the network activities and the number of packages and bytes received and blocked.
The only thing which really misses with this firewall, it is the possibility of regulating various security levels.

Free, PC Tools Firewall Plus carries out the junction between ease of use, functionalities and good general performance. The whole without consuming too many resources.
