Can someone suggest some good Firewalls please?
I am going to assume that you are a windows user.
Try out these.
Tiny Personal Firewall
Zone Alarm
and if you do not mind paying for a firewall you might have a look at Black Ice.
If you are a Unix user, OpenBSD running ipfilter is the only way to go in my opinion.
Use [http://www.zonelabs.com/]Zone Alarm[/url], it's the best firewall I've come across, plus it's free for personal use. Avoid Black Ice Defender like the plague. :)
That should be Zone Alarm, bit of trouble with the vB Code! :D
The free version of ZoneAlarm is good but watch out for the Pro version. I got the demo for it and on my Win98 box it crashed it every time I turned my comp on. I had to uninstall it from safe-mode because the true vector thing is what caused all the problems.
Have a look here and read what other people on AO view as good firewalls, many providing good reasons for why they believe them to be good firewalls..
Thanks for the suggestions.
