Another site to test firewall penatration: http://www.grc.com/default.htm

The next best to Avat IMO and in some cases catches what Avast don't. Also has a root kit scanner: http://www.free-av.com\ Dosn't have boot time scan.

A nice firewall that offers packet sum check and DOS attack prevention, packet injections, (Not good for you game cheaters) and many others : http://www.comodo.com/products/free_products.html

See if your Firewall passes the leak test suite: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/onlinetest.html
