I use Norton Internet Security and Kerio Firewall. Kerio's a good firewall and on top of everything it's free you can download it from the makers.

I use ZoneAlarm Pro... there's the free version and then you can always DL a serial off of kazaa and upgrade it to the full version. Of course you still can't get any updates unless you shell out a whopping $12 or something like that. That's my 2 cents, I just really prefer full versions over free shareware versions.

Norton is good as a package. Zone Alarm is good as long as you know what you're doing.

hmmmmmmmm, I actually chose Zone Alarm because I found it the easiest to use! I just let it run in the background and forget about it.

I've ended up using Sygate - no splash screen or tray icon. Found that with Zone Alarm I couldn't view some sites that used java, even checking through all the permissions I still couldn't connect.

I have go with nectros
Zone alarm is the best
Free version but I would'nt recommand the Zone alarm pro because it is confusing
