Hi Graham, Another one to try is Look 'n Stop, http://www.looknstop.com. I haven't used it personally, but GW Micro seem to rate it.

I am about to try comodo now as I have seen that it gets good marks. Most people are saying that Seagate personal firewall is not a good choice and others are saying that OutPost is too much bundled up with other security products. If Comodo is accessible then I will try and let you know my findings.
