Anyone recommend a Good free firewall for Vista/XP? I am using Sygate Personal Firewall now, and wondered if there may be a better one? Thanks for your input.

If you're already behind a router/firewall then you could probably stick with Sygate.

Sygate is now owned by Symantec, I have not heard that it is being maintained. Check this notice:
Sygate Online Services .

Here is what are rated highly by MajorGeeks: MajorGeeks.com - Download Freeware and Shareware Computer Utilities. I've used Comodo and didn't care for it, currently using Outpost. I used Sygate for a long time, but when they stopped maintaining it, I went with something being kept up to date.

I also refer to Matousec's testing.
