It's easy to install and use and passes the industry's most stringent firewall "leak" tests.

or = http://www.pctools.com/firewall = Windows XP, 2000 and 2003 server - Freeware

or = R-Firewall is a FREE program comparable with commercial firewalls = http://www.r-firewall.com/

Never have 2 or more software firewalls running on the same computer as they will conflict with each other. Remember now with SP2 on WinXP there is a firewall, so when using a third party alternative be sure to disable the Windows SP2 firewall.

or = Jetico Free Personal Firewall = http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirewall.htm = For 98+

or = Free Kerio Firewall = It will give you "full version" access for 14 days, then will revert back to free version(which works just fine).= http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm

( Never have 2 or more software firewalls running on the same computer as they will conflict with each other. Remember now with SP2 on WinXP there is a firewall, so if you get a third party alternative be sure to disable the Windows SP2 firewall! Only use/enable one software firewall)

An important thing to keep in mind of course, regardless of which anti-virus, anti-malware, anti-spyware and firewall you use is to keep it UPDATED, just as it is important to make sure you have all windows critical and security updates + http://update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/defau...

The way I have mine set is to only notify me that updates are availiable, but to not download them automaticaly. Then I can check to be sure I get just the ones I want. I then click on "custom", and after the updates have been downloaded I look them over to see which ones I want, then disconnect from the net, disable firewall and anti-virus program, and then install the updates, and then re-enable the firewall and anti-virus programs before reconnecting to the net.

xp has a free firewall

zonelab do zonealarm which is free

important

follow the link at the bottom of the page otherwise you will get the trial version

the xp version is fine if you r behind a firewall on a router but it only stops incoming not outgoing. i use it as it takes up fewer resources and i know my pc is clean

only down side with zonealarm is that it doesn't support ics
