ZoneAlarm would be your choice... It's one of the best (if not THE best) software firewalls around plus it's completely free...

ok, i am trying out zone alarm right now. are there any tips and tricks to getting this thing to work better?

basically its really easy to get it to recognize programs like AIM and ICQ and let zone alarm allow these programs access to the internet and act as servers. i had the hardest time trying to get zone alarm to just detect IIS as a program thats always running and to allow it to access the internet and act as a server. im wondering what else i would probably want zone alarm to recognize and any other tricks you guys have figured out.

thaks in advance.
