  • I don't know about free - not sure I'd even trust a "free firewall". You don't know what kind of bugs have been deliberately written into the scripting. I can personally recommend an Alpha Shield hardware firewall, tho - have one myself. Works great, and I've had it shut down the internet and network connections if it detects port scanning, etc. The software for it is pretty easy to use, and you can get more info at their website http://alphashield.com/php/AlphaShield.php The MSRP is $99.99, but there are a number of websites such as ebay where you can buy it significantly cheaper. Don't forget to also try picking up the phone and calling some of your local computer hardware stores!
  • Zone Alarm is one of the better rated software firewalls for free.
