If ZoneAlarm is bloated then I wonder what he would consider Norton and McAfee? :) Yeah, ZonaAlarm definitely isn’t that bad, but I think Comodo has a little bit of an edge to it.

With a download size around 6 MD it can't be that bloated. Especially since it offers "program control" in addition to the standard firewall features. Also, all the Pro features are included in the Free edition, however, they are not accessible until you provide the Pro key. That's a lot of functionality for such a small download.
