Zone
Alarm
(Basic Software
- free)
by Zone
Alarm
NOTE: LOCKS UP WINDOWS 7!!
I've used it (and am
using it) on two of my computers. Works with everything except 7!
Zone Alarm has been around a long time. It is
one of those programs I have used, and am currently using on two of my
computers. The FREE version is a basic, no frills firewall, but
works
well at what it does. Used in conjunction with a good AntiVirus
prog,
it makes a good combo.
On the link above, click on the Free
Version if that
is what you want!

Comodo fixed
the problem after
it came to their attention. I only wonder how many computers
world

no longer support this software.
Maybe,
at some point in the future, I will once again be able to recommend it,
but for now..............

Free
by Agnitum
Note: You must provide name and
email addy,
but the software IS then free!
NOTE: The Outpost Firewall Pro
is also
available for "free" - If you buy stuff on the web, via trialpay
. One of those "we'll give it to you free IF you buy from
some
of these vendors" plans. There are some who may want to do
this.
Not my cup of tea though.
