Best free "lite" firewall

[matthew2456]

Had zonealarm but was really slowing down boot up time.

Any others worth trying??

Thanks

I let Vista do mine, it does the job well. Some reviews here

If you don't need any advanced blocking/permitting rules then just use the one built in to Windows.

Have you tried Comodo?

As you placed an emphasis on 'lite' then try out the above, it works well for me.

I did use Comodo and whilst many find it a very capable firewall I found it a little overwhelming and complex to configure.

VFC works well and does what I need, it is also 'lite'.
