Re: XP firewall v. Zonealarm
The Sunbelt Firewall (Kerio) - is that free? Website says it wants payment?

Re: XP firewall v. Zonealarm
It just niggles you every so often asking if you want to upgrade - I run the free version.
http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm
Most trial software works for a month and then stops, but not the Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall. After 30 days, it shuts down advanced privacy protection features, but will continue to run with reduced functionality for free. The following table compares differences between Sunbelt Kerio Personal Firewall running in a free mode vs. a full (paid) mode. So, why spend the $19.95? Because being behind a concrete wall beats a chain link fence, when it comes to your security.

I vote Kerio but hear Comodo is very good which i haven't used yet. Just avoid ZA and Norton at all costs.

Re: XP firewall v. Zonealarm
Well - I installed Kerio today on work laptop - it keeps giving an error just before the widows logon - needs investigating - it looks quite good...
Will have a look at Comodo soon....
This will be a replacement for Norton! ;-)

Turn Web Filtering off if you use Kerio, as it will seriously slow down your html webpage speed tests.

I use Kaspersky but thats not free, but it can be found pretty cheap online. 
I've used AVG in the past and didn't have problems with it although Kaspersky looks and runs great.

GRISOFT is announcing a new version of the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. This new 7.5 version with improved performance and full compatibility with the latest Windows Vista version is available.

Not sure about Kaspersky but no harm in trying their free trial.
