And by best I don't mean some paranoid fort knox type shit, that messages me ever time an instant messaging program logs on, or I have to turn in off to play an on line game.

I am talking about the best mean it provides good security with out jumping through hoops.

I use BlackIce and ZoneAlarm. Both are easily configurable and powerful. Even if a message pops up saying blah blah program is accessing the internet you can always check the mark saying it always can, then it wont prompt you each time. The more you know whats accessing internet the more secure you are.

Edit: I don't think BlackIce is free.
but why the limitation free when you can get absolutely anything on klite or emule, bittorent etc. :rolleyes:

I have heard that zonealarm does not work well with my Apache web hosting software.

Any body run ZA will Apache?
