Firewalls

Just a little survey to see what firewalls you lot are using. Any information you have about it would also help (site, cost, ease of use, etc)

Personally I use Zone Alarm, the free version, from [url="http://www.zonelabs.com"]zone labs[/url]
Can be setup easily and can restrict particular programs from accessing the net on specific ports. This does get annoying at first install as a lot needs to be configured. However after a few days only a few request will appear. Allows an internet lockdown and mail search.

I use zonealarm pro with webwashing and i think it is by far the greatest of all, but the free version still has most of the features i usually use, all the stuff that got paid for hardly gets used, lol.

I've tried lots of firewalls; Black Ice, McAfee, Norton, Sygate, Tiny Personal Firewall...but I always come back to ZoneAlarm.

Sygate Pro for me, works a treat with lots of options.
