Zonealarm. It's free and it's customizable and it doesn't take more resources then it needs like Norton's does.

I love my Sygate Personal Firewall. Today it stopped 4 DOS attacks on me which it called "Code Red".

Send a message via ICQ to JohnE.
Norton Internet Security gets my vote. It's based on the best software firewall ever which was the almost forgotten @Guard, but with a better GUI and a few more tweaks.
