Perhaps Symantec could approach Comodo about a licensing agreement to use their firewall?

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I'm pretty sure that Comodo's CEO would never agree to such a thing.

If that is not an option, at least design the product so it would be easy to decouple the firewall portion.

That's what NAV is for.  There is no need to "decouple" the firewall.

Symantec offers commercial users is absolutely terrible in detecting the current web based threats when configured not to use it's firewall.

The corporate versions have a superb firewall.  Why turn off a commercial grade firewall just to replace it with a lesser version that perhaps telss you more but does less???

I can only hope that you find what you are looking for.
