    I use Avast / Malwarebytes and PC Tools Firewall, which I like.

    Used to use AVG and Zone Alarm, but Avast/PC Tools is a better combination. Remember that you have to re-register free Avast every 12 months.

    I am on XP and use PC tools firewall free which is very easy to use ! I have tried Comodo firewall and found it a complete nightmare but maybe it was just me . I see no one has mentioned Zone alarm I know there are better firewalls available but maybe suitable

    If using Vista I would have thought the windows firewall would do the job .

    The latest PCTools firewall isnt very safe. I wouldnt recommend using it
    Zonealarm is awful these days
