Big firewsll isuues

[Guest]

Greetings, All.
I am currently running the apparently defunct Sygate Personal Firewall, and
am looking to replace it, due to the defunctness. Zone Alarm and Kerio seem
to be the front runners from what I read here, but there are already
problems. I have tried Kerio (the Sunbelt version) and it COMPLETELY locks me
off of the internet. BAM, bye-bye web, no matter what changes I make in the
settings. Now a little additional info, relevant or not, I don't know. The PC
in question is our primary machine, connected via DSL. I just today got our
son's PC online, piggybacking on our connection, and installed Kerio. HIS
machine runs fine. So does mine--as soon as I uninstall KPF. I can't just
disable it, it takes a complete uninstall. I also prefer to use Firefox (like
now) and have read a few comments about compatibility issues. SO--any help,
and suggestions for other firewalls (preferably no-cost) will be greatly
appreciated.

Next time install it with ALL your background apps closed, as
RECOMMENDED.
