According to the fact
Comodo is personal software firewall,
I stayed at this topic.
We can debate, if Pers SW FWs are proper term, but it is commonly used.
And modern PSW are much more then plain packet filters.
PF have no more chance against sofisticated malware.
SW FW can be more easily compromized,
but on the other hand, the have more chances
to detect application hijacking
and suspicious interprocess comunication.
This field is closed to distant HW firewalls.
HW and SW FWs have little different goals, purpose and usage.
There is no use for their users fight each other.
They have common enemy.
