What Software Firewall Do You Use?

[Guest NickInTheNorth]

Several questions about firewalls recently, so please tell us what you use.

 

I'm currenty using Kerio Personal Firewall, but that won't be supported for too much longer.

 

I used to use sygate, but that has now gone to symantec and been killed.

 

So any others? Also good if you could tell us what operating system you are using with the firewall and any good and bad points. Would also be good if you can indicate whether it is free or paid for.

 

Thanks for your help.

I use Zone Alarm Pro, but have never really got to grips with it. It blocks more than I want, though, so I suppose that's a good thing.
