just read your page about your "Personal Firewall". You're showing
popups for users. Do you realize, that users cannot decide anything
sensible for IT security, because they don't have a clue what's going
on? Why are you showing popups then? What's on them?
VB, you are 100% right! Thats the biggest problem with firewalls. they
say:
abc.exe is trying to connect to internet: do you want to allow or deny.
and 99.9% of people don't have a clue about what that application is!
That is why we introduced the following
http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/whats_new.html
Application Recognition Database
Comodo Personal Firewall 2.0 can recognize over 10000 applications and
determine their security risks. This database allows users to quickly
ascertain whether activity is coming from a safe program or a malicious
virus, trojan or spyware.
Of course 10,000 is only a small starting point. We have a team of
people who continually update this and looking for help from our users
to keep giving us a hand to increase this db so that CPF can
intelligently inform you about the application that is trying to make
connection.

When you think that I'm right, why are you still holding the home user
responsible for deciding security related questions?

Yours,
VB.
