I use Sygate for just a firewall. Trend Micro's home AV product includes a firewall these days too. Seems decent but not as good as Sygate. Plus, Sygate is free. I had trouble with Zone Alarm on all the pc's I tried it on. A cheap Dlink/Linksys/Netgear hardware firewall is the best choice in my opinion. They are not very expensive.
