Hi Steve.I have tried this firewall and yes it is pretty accessible really. I would say it is in fact one of the more accessible products out there but at £39.00 it's by no means cheap. If you have more than one machine the price drops to £34.00 a machine but still not cheap. Still, if I really need to go for it I will I suppose that's just tough but if I can find anything reasonable that is cheaper I will.

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.

It's free, however registration is required to activate it, all of which is free. In terms of Outpost, it's not free, but rather it's shareware, therefore there's a free 30 day trial you can use before you need to buy it in order to continue using it beyond the period. You're right, Zone Alarm (any flavour) is difficult and/or impossible to use, particularly the paid-for versions, as the paid ones seems to treat JAWS as malware and therefore the initial acceptance of JAWS forces it to not speak. However, once you've accepted it JAWS will work fine, but that's not the point; it's just too difficult to use. Anyway I hope that helps.

Originally, I asked about accessible firewalls that are free. I have established I think that Zone Alarm is unlikely to be easily accessible with JAWS so, if necessary I will go for a paid for firewall though of course, a free one would be preferable!My question is, which is the best to go for? I don't mind being asked toaccept or decline any application that wants to connect to the outside world so long as the dialogs are acceptable.I know that Sygate has a free firewall, that Kirio is a free firewall and that there is a free firewall called Outpost. I believe you can get paid for versions of these products and all are accessible.should I go for anyone of these products in particular? Secondly, a few have talked about Look and Stop. Is anyone using this? It looks quite promising but the help info is not too accessible as it uses screenshots and fairly poor english and I am not clear how tomanipulate the application rules but I would be willing to pay if this isthought to be a particularly high quality product. Any other thoughts on the best firewall to use would of course be much appreciated.
