I`ve used "Zone Alarm" in the past mate, with good results.
Blows your mind when you see how many attempted intrusions there`ve been on your system.
Sorry, no URL, but Google it, and it should come up.0 -

edit, the basic firewall is totally free, the other options are 15 day trials0 -

kerio is almost the same and still free

registration required but ignore th 30 day trial thing, it just shuts down some additional features, the firewall still works and updatesEx forum ambassador

Sygate is still available at some mirror sites, but it is no longer in production since the parent company was bought out by Symantec (the makers of Norton software). it's a cracking little package that i really liked, but unfortunately you'll have to go elsewhere for free software based firewalls.
have a look at Outpost and ZoneAlarm as they're about the best 2 free ones left out there IMO
Tim.all advise is offered "as is" and should be taken as such. No blame can be placed on me if it all goes horribly wrong!0 -

My vote goes to Zonealarm also. :TFasthosts ruined my life0

ditto with Zonealarm but if you're using XP, make sure you get the latest version...I'm NOT political so DON'T correct me!0
