    Let's say my PC has been infected with a keylogger/malware. Will my firewall- Codomo firewall pro be able to stop it from Phoning home? Thanks.

    Possibly.

    Quick question....something that crossed my mind.
    You said 'Let's say my PC.....' by saying 'Let's Say', it is implying you are talking about a hypothetical situation. However, in this context, it can mean the following;
    'If I download a keylogger/malware, can it send me the data even if comodo firewall is installed.'

    If this is so, I wonder who the victim is..... 
    If i'm wrong, don't blame me. It's late here.

      I'm just switched from ZoneAlarm free to Codomo, How do I see which programs have access to the internet. Codomo doesn't seem to show this info. Thanks.

          Thanks.

          Something should pop asking if you would like to allow that program access.....
