Zone Alarm? Not used one for a few years, I'm now trusting of my router, but when I had one, that was the one that everyone used

I only use my zone alarm firewall =/ but try around some of these links somes bound to have a nice free one for ya

Just use the inbuilt one. Its perfectly fine especially if you have a router. It also means the computer doesnt have to load up another program at startup.

It runs as the full version for 30 days before "losing" the paid for features and reverting to the free version.

I don't use a firewall myself (except Windows one) but i have heard great things about 'Comodo'.

XP SP2 Firewall is sufficient for a stand alone PC from my opinion.

After testing all the current free ones... another vote for Comodo.
