    LnS in the Matousec tests fairs poorly. no doubt because the tests are biased towards HiPs. And LnS is an excellent FW. But not a HiPs.

    What product would you suggest I install to compliment LnS so it and whatever else I install will match Comodo's setup etc?

    Permanent placement results of L'n'S in tests of Matousec is just like a "malicious joke"...I don't know why they still show it. Comment from more than 3 years ago
    To avoid some long discussion I go back to meritum...I think SpyShelter (you know why) and some virtualisation (SD or Returnil)...maybe Sandboxie, but I rather dislike "sandbox" software. At the end EMET.

    I really find Matousec Review & Test as "Read and Forget". They give 0-10 points to some major security product and there test are only favour the annoying pop ups software which terms as HIPS.
    If a user had to take all decision and handle annoying /useless pop ups what is the function of the security software?
    However general user dont know about the tough rules & regulation and they didnt know what to allow and what to block

    I have alot of confidence in DefenseWall Personal Firewall running along side LooknStop, with Phantom's ruleset of course. I don't think you can do better, any simpler than that. DefenseWall only works on 32bit systems though.

    Back in the day, there was experimental features that could be activated via registry, but Frederic removed these, I figure it was difficult to maintain and distracted him from the more important areas in a pure firewall like its packet filter.

    I don’t have nothing against Matousec, but like another mentioned, I feel its a joke to continue to keep Look 'n’ Stop on their list, especially when there are no bells or whistles to detect the different potential malicious leak methods thats listed on "Proactive Security Challenge" from Matousec.
