Al;
I haven't read all the answers to your question, I was away yesterday.
Two things on this....
Keep in mind...a "Firewall" is not an anti-virus program, so you need to run
a Firewall and a Anti-Virus Program.
Try not to run two Firewalls at the same time. My choice is a Firewall
separate from Norton or Microsoft, since these are the ones most easily
circumvented.
Zone Alarm, the Free version is a good one. A Router with a built in
Firewall would be my first choice.
But you are right....two firewalls running in tandem, will slow your
computer.
