Tiny Personal Firewall, Sygate, Kerio, Outpost, Zone Alarm, Comodo. Any of those would be better. Search for them, all free, or at least there are recent versions that are free. (Can't keep up with everything.)

If you don't want to be bothered with complicated configuration, TPF is great, or Outpost in "Allow Most" Mode. Good luck.

The only true free full soft out of those is Comodo.
The others are either trials that stop working, or cut down skeletons of the real thing.

Outpost in "allow most" mode is pointless. This mode is only for specific purposes.
