Default Need a good free firewall besides zone alarm

Hello,

My zone alarm was working great since last upgrade. Then it started to fail and I uninstalled and installed it again about 3 times and every time I'm unable to make it work. Because my knowledge about computers is limited I think the best way is to try to install another firewall. Can you help me out?

Thanks

Try Kerio, you get the full version for 30 days then the free version after.

You can use Smoothwall on an older machine (pentium-class, even) for a dedicated firewall appliance, which would give you more flexibility.
