Yes. And your point is?

The reviewer quotes some usual marketing nonsense like:
"Comodo successfully put my test-bed system's ports into stealth mode.
They weren't just closed to hackers' manipulation; they were
completely invisible from outside."

And more nonsense:
"If you don't have firewall protection, your system is a train wreck
waiting to happen"
