Windows XP Good FREE firewall?

[Cache-man]

I'm looking for a new firewall for my PC.
Are there any good/respected FREE ones about?

Can you recommend what you think are the best available (either free or paid for)?

Try the Zone Labs firewall. It's free and used by a lot of people. You can find it at http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp

My advice is to get a router. It doesn't matter if you have a need for multiple hard lines or wireless, they have built-in firewalls and you will never have to worry about being susceptible to worms like Sasser.

Of course this isn't free but it is the best and safest thing to do IMO.

WindowsXP service pack 2 has a good one built in...

Kerio Personal Firewall is quite good. I've used ZoneAlarm in the past, but I like Kerio equally as much (maybe a little more).
