Default Re: PC-Welt FireWall tests

Quote:
Everyone who interesting the Artikel it stand in "PC-Welt 05/08 Site 82 - 90" Language is German.

That is correct, the test covers 7 pages of their magazine.
And the test were done together with av-test.de (aka av-test.org).

Personally i think that the tests were made by av-test.org only, and pc-welt puts it on paper.

Their conclusion (not my) was:

1st place: Zone Alarm 7.0
2: Comodo FW Professional 3.0
3: Sunbelt personal Firewall 4.5
4: Ashampoo Firewall 1.2
5: Pc tools Firewall plus 3.0
6: Softperfect personal Firewall 1.4.1
7: Microsoft Vista Firewall

Found differences between ZA en Co:

Item ZoneAlarm Comodo
create rules autom no yes
mail attachment filter yes no
blocks programs wth stolen access rights yes no
blocks active trojans (out of 10) 10 8

---------------------------------------------------------------
Although German is not my native tongue (neither is English) i have a subscription on this magazine.
Their reviews in most cases have different test results that their English counterparts, but are near my personal opinion just as good.

For the record, these results are not the same as my personal finding in testing personal firewalls.
