    I use Kaspersky Internet Security.
    Its fast and eats very low resources.

    Absolutely a great software and a must-have in my list.

    Sygate is still my favourite firewall by far. I use it on all my Windows machines.

    It's a trusty old workhorse, without any of that bullshit anti adware/spyware crap that most of the newer firewalls have.

    Absolutely. There's no reason to upgrade to a newer firewall if Sygate does everything you need. Newer isn't necessarily better :)

    Everyone should grab 5.6 while it's still around.

    I recommend Kaspersky. I'm using it and I didn't have any problems so far.

    Ha, I'll tell you something strange. I decided to run the Comodo scanner today and while it was updating, the Comodo firewall told me it was trying to access the screen directly, then the firewall told me it was trying to access the keyboard to log keystrokes.

    I think I'll uninstall Comodo and go with Sygate...used it before and it's a great free firewall.
