    I´ve just turned on windows 7 firewall outbound protection (that blocks everything by default), and manually created the rules to allow certain applications.

    I use Comodo FW which is a part of CIS. I also like PrivateFirewall as it includes good HIPS.

    I use Comodo FW.

    I did use Windows FW for a time (mainly to learn how to use and create rules) but after I was satisfied that I could use it comfortably, I went back to CFW because of the HIPS\BB component.

    3 x machines running Win 7 64bit

    A: Emsisoft Online Armor Premium

    B: Private Firewall

    C: Comodo Firewall 6 (heavily modified)

    I like them all for differing reasons but for tweakability i rate Comodo best.

    ► "Windows 7 Firewall Control" from Sphinx.

    - In Win XP and Win 7. Both with Free version.

    Very good outbound control; 'easy-to-use' also.

    Either that, or OA users have dismissed this thread entirely.

    I want to use Online Armor, i really do,
    but OAx64 removes many features over its x86 version and is incompatible with Sandboxed Google Chrome and not as silent as Comodo after Learning System Processes.
    I have been using Comodo Firewall with Avira for the last 5 years,
    haven't found any alternatives yet. :(

    Most HIPS lose some capabilities when installed on x64 systems. :)

    Online Armor, never gives me problems, no slow-downs and support is very good.
    Outpost always has given me problems, and lacks in the support.
    Might give Tinywall a try again when a new update comes out.

    When I voted on this topic I had Comodo but I've found version 6 to be quite buggy and it was making my screen freeze. I've experimented with Windows Firewall but I felt I need something with a clearer interface and so I installed PrivateFirewall and so far I'm finding it decent enough.
