    1.Outpost Firewall Free is my top choice for users who want highly flexible protection without sacrificing usability.
    2.If full featured security rather than ease of use is your criterion, then the Comodo Internet Security is the top contender.
    3.A solid contender is the free version of Online Armor Personal Firewall.
    4.Also a solid performer in the personal firewall class is PC Tools Firewall Plus.
    5.Other user friendly alternatives include Ashampoo FireWall Free and ZoneAlarm Free Firewall.
    6.The built-in windows firewall is an excellent choice for novice or impatient users since it avoids the hassle and confusion of incessant alerts while employing excellent inbound protection.

    A good way to protect yourself from a lot of spyware and adware and such is at the browser level in addition to the firewall level. DL firefox and the adblock plus and the noscript plugins. These will stop most of the visible ads.
    Also, while the next thing isn’t totally free. Its good and you might want to consider it. Kaspersky Internet Security suite is one of the most recommended sollutions by security geeks for home use. You can buy a license for it for $10 on ebay. It has an antivirus program and an ad blocker and firewall.

    You can use just about any anti-virus solution that you want. It is the firewall part of this question that concerns me. Now for all of you who say that you are IT professionals and are looking to move into the security field as I am should know by this point in your careers that any firewall that is an application and says that it will protect layers 2-3 will not give you the protection you need. The whole idea of a firewall is to stop the packets from reaching the machine not them getting there and then at the session layer the software decides what to do with the packets. That is a point of no-return if you have packets that have been crafted to wreck havoc. Although there is no real threat of loss of data there is the threat of a DoS attack that could render your software based firewall turned off if windows thinks its the cause of the system failures. The best thing to do is to purchase an inexpensive firewall router this will help stop the bad stuff from coming in to your system. Hope this helps

    As far as I have tested, ZoneAlarm’s free firewall has never failed any leak test before, and it is also a good two-way personal firewall for any average user, even for a gamer. Its recent addition of “Game Mode” lets you automatically allow or deny alerts when you’re in the middle of playing a video game.
