WHAT`S THE BEST FREE FIREWALL PROTECTION
I`m having ntl broadband installed this wednesday and was wondering which is the best free firewall protection available.
RE: WHAT`S THE BEST FREE FIREWALL PROTECTION
I use Sygate Personal Firewall which is free for home users. I run it under Win XP Pro and have never had any problems with it.

Try ZoneAlarm... free and have used it on lots of different PCs/OSs without any probs. Often appears free on cover CDs such as on PC Pro magazine.

I also use Zonealarm. Tried Tiny Personal Firewall for a bit, seems ok but much more complex.
If you go to www.grc.com you can run ShieldsUp! which checks out your PC for vulnerabilities. Opened my eyes. Try it with and without a firewall running.
RE: WHAT`S THE BEST FREE FIREWALL PROTECTION
I tried the ShieldsUp using Sygate, running WinxP. It found Port 113 open! Anyone any ideas as to how I can have this closed, or is it back to ZoneAlarm, which I find a bit of a pain (crashes often)?
Tried to delete this as I put it as a new thread. Unable to delete :(

FREE VERSION OF ZONE ALARM!!!!!BRILL
RE: WHAT`S THE BEST FREE FIREWALL PROTECTION
Is Zone alarm a freebie or is it just a 30 day trial - which is all I can see on their web page.
Or should I buy Zone Alarm Pro for $30
