    I use "ProcessGuard 3.0" as well as "Zone Alarm Pro v5.5.062" and "Norton Corporate 9.0.0.338"
    Between the 3 of them they stop most crap known to mankind....

    To get rid of XP's crapwall:
    In Control Panel, open Network Connections, then right click your connection, select Properties , select Advanced and untick the box that says Protect my comp yada-yada-yada....
    Settings will take affect next time you connect if the connection is active....


    @ 15%: Some of those are older/beta versions of the firewalls in those tests results so are a little inaccurate
