    Zone alarm free

    Excelent firewall, easy the best freeware firewall and evern better than some paid for firewalls.

    Download Zone alarm free:

    http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/free...

    Agnitum firewall

    Agnitum firewall is also a good firewall, i prefere zone alarm though, does the job fine and worth a try.

    download Agnitum:

    http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpostfree/download.php

    Kerio firewall

    Kerio personal firewall is good too but i dont know their situiation, they are about to be aquired by sun belt firewall but i think they are continuing the firewall.

    Download kerio personal firewall:

    http://www.kerio.com/kpf_download.html

    id go for zone alarm free out of all of them, excelent firewall.

    Theese are also able firewalls:

    Jetico Personal Firewall http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirewall.htm

    SoftPerfect Personal Firewall http://www.softperfect.com/products/firewall/

    Wyvern Firewall 2004
    http://www.wyvernworks.com/firewall.html

    All are decent replacement's.

    Nice choice and use AVG free for your AV Zippy, I've used it on a few computers with great results, nothing to lose as its free.

    I think its better than most paid for app's, give it a go :)

    I have tried it years ago with mixxed results,no harm in downloading it again I guess *L*
    its not like norotn 04 is any "better" *L*

    I like PC cillin by trend micro for around 20 you get a nice all in one AV and firewall program all,the only thing it not so good at is cleaning exe and other files but its good at stoping them at the ports *L*

    Yeh, I found Trend Micro's Pc Cillin to be really good, if I liked using Internet Security suites I'd probally choose that, but I dont as I pick and choose my protectiob, but if I did'nt it would be out of that, Zone Alarm IS & Panda Titanium IS.

    .....And between you and me i HATE Norton's products :X

    Good luck with whatever you choose Zippy :)

    Did I say I had a chice in useing Norton AV? *L*

    I bet Zone Alarm & Panda Titanium are 50ish a pop and you only get 1 year of updates *L*

    I know PC cillian aint the best but for meduimish high security for 20 you cant beat it :p

    Hell the only thing I have ever seen norton AV do right is remvoe virus ffrom infected files and even then 6month old virus at that..and thats useing norotn corp AV ><
    I perfer small (under 100MB) and not so resoruce hungery AV programs that are light on thier feet and pack a punch!
