Hello Tripstone,
If your looking for a FREE personal firewall you can check out the following:
Agnitum – Outpost - Negative just posted a thread on Outpost...he was very pleased with it protection.
http://www.tauscan.com
Tiny Software - Tiny Personal Firewall - Another great free firewall...Terr seems to prefer Tiny over ZA and I have used Tiny and definitely think it's worth downloading.
http://tinysoftware.com
ZoneLabs - Zone Alarm - This is personally my favorite (I haven't tried Outpost though, so it could change :) ) I've never had a problem while using Zonealarm so I've stayed with it.
http://www.zonelabs.com
Sygate - Sygate Personal Firewall - Never tried this firewall, but I'm sure it offers ample protection, maybe you should download it and give us a review ;)

Hope This Helps In Your Search for a FREE Firewall! :)
i already have zone alarm...just seeing what everyone thought...um i also have pgp "pretty good privacy" is that an email encryptor? if it is does it do anything else security wise? if not...what does it do?
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) is an all around encryption tool..it can be used to encrypt any kind of file...
Yes...in a way PGP is an "email encryptor", the PGP software I have supports various plugins for popular email clients (such as Outlook) that will encrypt your sent mail.
I hope this has helped to answer your question! :)
