The best firewall in the world is to physically disconnect your machine from networks

After that it depends on what you want from your firewall and what kind of network you are on.

For the Internet are you on Broadband or Dial Up?

Are you on a Local Area Network (LAN)?

Do you use Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)?

Do you want a 'Pop Up Blocker'?

Do you want a suite of Firewall & Anti Virus applications?

How much are you willing to spend?

I have used kerio personal firewall for long time. Nice and very good at keepin ya safe. And its free. Give it a try. keeps my old dialup box from troubles online has for years.

or there is zone alarm its free too. i have used it too. but to me its bloatware. kerio does better job i think and lots mor compact
no wasted crap in memory and kerio never crashes zone alarm wasnt so it crashed every so often lol..

There are plenty of good firewalls available all doing more or less the same thing. Two I personally trust the most through experience and reviews are Norton Internet Security (although I fell out with the latest version 2004 - NIS is AntoVirus, Firewall, Popup blocker and other stuff in one package), Sygate Personal Firewall and BlackICE defender.

Others that are efficient although I wouldnt rate them as good (not always in the way of effiency, but monitoring traffic, but customizability, ease of use, information etc)

ZoneAlarm
