PC, I am using Sygate Personal http://www.sygate.com since I got Cable, which is free for personal use. It has been super with no problems whatever. My updated SPYBOT keeps giving me congratulations for not having any spyware on my system. I also love how easy it is to allow a given site to always have access and others to have access only when you permit it. Very stable and good, easy set up. Can be set to automatically check for updates.

Now I found out that whenever I run my Bit Torrent program I lose my Internet connection and have to do a hard boot to get it back. After some searching I found where it said that Zone alarm had problems with BT programs. I turned off ZA and never lost my Internet connection again. So I'm using a 30 day trial of one called Outpost. But I want to use a free firewall. Know of any good ones?
