    Default Firewalls

    What firewall would anyone recommend, preferably free? Have been using ZoneAlarm but have got rid of it as it's been one of the many apparent causes of errors on my PC so now using the XP firewall short-term.

    Mary had a little lamb. It bumped into a pylon. Ten thousand volts went up its arse and turned its wool to nylon!

    I use Sygate firewall for all my XP systems. Unlike ZoneAlarm, which I constantly got bugged by, Sygate quickly learns your surfing habits. Every system I have put XP on or systems I have repaired with XP, have been loaded with Sygate. NOTHING you do not want will ever get through.
