2007-10-07: The following versions of firewalls have been tested:
Jetico Personal Firewall 2.0.0.35
Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.125
Norton Internet Security 2008 15.0.0.60
Online Armor Personal Firewall 2.1.0.11
PC Tools Firewall Plus 3.0.0.36
ZoneAlarm Pro 7.0.408.000
Jetico Personal Firewall 2.0.0.35 stays on its Excellent 9375 points.
Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0.0.125 scores 8475 points, which is 100 points more than its previously tested version, a Very good result.
Norton Internet Security 2008 15.0.0.60 still catches no leak-tests on its default settings, but it has a better protection on its highest security settings. Its new score is 3600 points, which is still a Very poor result, but better than 3100 points of its previous version.
Online Armor Personal Firewall 2.1.0.11 made a big improvement. This version does not use user mode hooks to bypass leak-testing techniques any more and it also implements a new protection against some techniques that it did not cover before. The new version scores 9375 points, an Excellent anti-leak protection.
PC Tools Firewall Plus 3.0.0.36 is also an improved version with better anti-leak protection than its previous version. However, this version of PC Tools implements a lot of user mode hooks to fight some leak-tests and thus its protection is easy to bypass. Its score is 5825 points, a Poor anti-leak protection, but still much better than 2625 points of its older version.
Finally, ZoneAlarm Pro 7.0.408.000 is on its own with the same result as previously tested version, which means 8600 points and a Very good anti-leak protection.
2007-09-17: A response from NETGATE Technologies s.r.o., the vendor of FortKnox Personal Firewall, has been added.
