What firewalls does everyone recommend?
Hi all,

What firewalls does everyone recommend? Prefer freeware. Yes I am running some apps that we can't talk about on this board. They are P2P. I heard ZA isn't good for that. Does everyone recommend good firewalls?

Comodo and ZoneAlarm are both excellent free firewalls.

I happen to like comodo it's what I use and I haven't had any problems with it.

and on that firewall site that golferbob posted you'll see zonealarm free did very poor where as comodo did excellent.
