..and a slogan they use is "Its free. Forever. No catch. No kidding.". The best bit is that it really is true, they're not kidding.

This is a genuis firewall & better than most pay versions. In fact, if I had an expensive good firewall, I'd hate CPF. ;-)

Excellent in 4 categories & mega-excellent in the Price/Value category. Mainly because it's FREE.. FOREVER (yes, I know that's a very long time).

I was wrong, that url is Panda's. So, perhaps it is a test after all!

WARNING Do NOT download this program!! The download link points to..

http://acs.pandasoftware.com/marketing/installactivescan.exe

..note the "acs" bit.. this isn't Padasoftware! And that zipped executable contains a file called pskavs.DLL and that's infected with a virus called Win32:CTX.

On the up-side, if you've got a high speed link, then it makes a fairly good test for your Anti-Virus defences. :-)
