Default What Firewall are you using?

What Firewall are you using? Free or subscription?

I currently use Zonealarm Security suite but am looking for a free alternative because i think ZA slows down my computer.

Thanks to those who reply.

I don't actually have any Anti-Virus or Firewall installed on my PC. I haven't noticed any virus-like problems though, so I think I'm clean.

It's actually pretty easy to protect yourself from viruses - you just need to know where not to go

I am using Zone Alarm Security Suite and I love it. I cant get rid of it even if I wanted to becuase I use it when I play Halo 2 on Xbox Live.

I turned on Windows Firewall. I usually use Zonealarm but it pops up every 5 mintues and gets very annoying.
