Firewall or Port Watching type of software ?

[BigLance]

I need a program or utility that watchs for people trying to come on to a friends computer, he has a pretty high speed connection and wants this so he doesn't have to be worried about hackers etc.

I know some great programs exist, if you can help me and him I apperciate it a lot.
Thanks !

A great personal firewall product is Zone Alarm by Zonelabs There are two versions. The free version works as well as the pro version. I use it. It also has the ability to control trojans and spyware.
