Best FireWall
Whats your choice on the best firewall out there? Is it a famous and liked firewall like Nortons or ZoneAlarm or is it a unfamiliar one with no popularity? Share you opinions and all of them are appreciate!

Thanks

Personally I would go with Norton's. Why? From Symantec which always makes good products IMO. It has a feature called Virtual Tracker which tracks the hacker/cracker that wanted to enter your computer (For now many have tried on mine) and Norton stops them all imediatelly. Its great!

As far as firewalls go, you really can't go too wrong as long as you've got something. Most all attacks can be stopped by any of the firewall software out there thats any good at all. So i suggest picking something that works best for you and doesn't bother you all the time with what you do on your computer. Kerio, ZA, and Sygate are definately the top best.

Zone Alarm Pro...
Very effective, relatively inexpensive (can get multi-user licenses for my small home network), easy enough to configure, frequent updates, and I've never had a problem/incompatability issue.

why would I pay for one rather than just turning on the internal firewall? is there a problem with it?
