well it rele depend on what u expect ur firewall to do. for example, the latest outpost v3 includes lots of features like an antispyware plugin which can protect certain system files, block outgoing private data, and of course, scan ur computer. on top of that it has 5 (excluding attack detection) other plugins not necessary for a firewall. it has process control and process memory control. OTOH, look n stop is a light rules-based firewall with application filtering and some dll control. i suggest u try both and see which suits ur needs.

lns has antispy?
Here I use PG, SpySweeper and NOD32 in realtime. Also I have KAV for On-demand.

look n stop doesnt have an antispyware features, outpost firewall does. if u have spysweeper and pg, then u should be fairly secured.

im not sure what to make of that, all i can say is that only outpost has an antispyware scanner. but like i said previously, u should trial both and see which one works better for you. also heres a few threads on lns vs outpost:
