Hello:

The most recent Matousec.com firewall tests (
http://www.matousec.com/projects/pro...ge/results.php )
also rank PC Tools Firewall Plus ( http://www.pctools.com/firewall/ ) and
Outpost Firewall Free ( http://free.agnitum.com/ ) as 2 other excellent free
firewalls (but not for Win ME, of course).

Cheers,
Jerry

But if you have the machine to comfortably run either of those, the best
modern freeware firewalls - Comodo and OnlineArmor - are not a problem.
And they are, of course, regularly updated but without screwing the
kit'n'kaboodle the way ZoneAlarm does.
