Cheat on tests? Lol, BlackIce picks up four times as many intrusions as any other program out there. In fact sometimes it's so protective I'm glad it doesn't have some pop up feature that tells you when you've encountered a suspicious activity.
I tried to hack myself and others numerous times, and Black Ice was the only program that stopped me vs. Kapersky, ZA, Panda, SilK, Norton, Mcaffee, Pcillin etc.
Until you've been personally attacked while using Black Ice, then that claim is empty.
I can lay out ten forum pages worth of firewall failures and annoyances with the other software out there.
