    Comodo gets my vote. Almost as simple as Zonealarm for general configuration but with very granular control if you want to delve deeper, plus some sophisticated application/component monitoring that borders on being an IDS.

    Yep its normal, its a pretty advanced software firewall and goes WAY deeper than ZA in monitoring program interaction. It can be annoying so if you want you can disable that function by going to Security / Advanced and disabling Application Behaviour Analysis.
