    The basic Windows Firewall if you have Windows XP SP2, I use Comodo Firewall and find it excellent. I used to have Sygate but that was swallowed up by Symantec, you can still download it but ain't supported, its still good. Kerio and Outpost all have free versions which are good.

    Thanks for the replys :) I am going to download comodo and give it a try.

    I was using Zone-Alarm for over a year, but im finding that its not letting me download some music and may also be slowing down the speed of the download. I could be wrong completely, but sure whats the harm in changing?

    Comodo - ftw.

    I found outpost to be a pain in the arse! Too many BSOD's for my liking.

    Had my few niggles with Comodo (switched from the defunct Sygate after a refresh a few weeks back) but once I got used to a few quirks, I'm liking it a bit more.

    Kerio PF is pretty good

    Used to use Zone labs and found it was doing a few odd things so switched over to Comodo a few weeks back and its great....so far.
