Windows firewalls that aren't Zonalarm? by Eternal_Newbie 2008-07-29 03:24:36
To cut a long story short I booted into XP this morning (I usually use Slackware) and disovered after some frustration that Zonealarm was blocking my Internet connection. Apparently it didn't like the last Windows update and decided to block everything.

It's been annoying me for a while but seeing as I hardly use Windows these days it hasn't been a problem till now.

Anyway, any suggestions for a decent windows firewall? I have heard Kerio (Sunbelt these days) is good, but never tried it.
