    I have Windows XP, I need a good firewall that is Free and good to use and stops my machine from Trojans and unwanted stuff.

    Hi,

    You can use ZoneAlarm. It work great for me. There is a free version that you can download.

    ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm [free suite] is the best option.

    I personally use Sygate firewall, I find it very good and it has great protection.

    You shouldn't encounter so many trojans per day, may I know which firewall you're using, and antivirus?

    ZoneAlarm is award winning, should do the trick. I use router firewall myself so I don't have to worry about software stuff.

    I recommend NOD32 for virus protection by the way. But I use Mac so I don't have to worry about that any more. :D

    Comodo Personal firewall anyone?

    It's by the company that provides SSL certification for websites. I'm using it right now and it is solid and compact.

    Do post or PM me with your experiences if you try it out.
    Cheers.
