Please recommend a free firewall?

[mcflurry]

Yesterday's Zonealarm update has messed around with my machine big time.
Just spent about an hour trying to fix it

Does anyone have any recommendations for alternative free firewall software?

Thanks in advance

Currently trying out Sygate Firewall, was previsously using Zonealarm myself. But no reason to change just felt like it...

Just moved over to sygate for the same reason, yesterdays update causes my PC to reboot on load of the client.

Sygate is far superior to ZoneAlarm. Plus it uses minimal system resources. It's just a shame it doesn't and never will work on Vista.

I just tried the Sygate - it was straight forward to install and worked first time

Cheers all

Ahhhhhhhh

On that note though....has anyone found a good firewall yet for Vista? I'm loving the OS. It runs a treat, but there are still no hardware accelerated sound drivers for my Nvidia Nforce Audio sound card so i'm looking to get a new X-Fi XtremeMusic, and I'm still using MS's built in Vista firewall which I have doubts about.....
