This is nice personal firewall. I enjoy its compact design and
never occupy much of the system resources. It's I/O speed is also

McAfee firewall puts out its fair share of false alarms.
I would recommend Tiny Software Personal Firewall over this product.

Bought this item for other rebate, which required a competitor's actual product CD. But didn't need the software, didn't use it, and it was out of date at the time I bought it.
