Am after a free firewall any suggestions, I have a copy of norton internet security but dislike the slowdown effect of it and am after something free, effective and light on resources

Hi there,


It is very important and you should have an antivirus software, firewall and spyware cleaner type software. You should also make sure you update and run them reguarly


Best Package of Software if you have money to spend:

* NOD32 - (Click Here For Costs)
* ZoneAlarm Firewall - (Free)
* SpywareBlaster - (Free)
* CCleaner - (Free)
* Spybot Search and Destroy - (Free)



Best Package of Software if you don't have money to spend:

* AVAST - (Free)
* ZoneAlarm Firewall - (Free)
* SpywareBlaster - (Free)
* CCleaner - (Free)
* Spybot Search and Destroy - (Free)



Alternate free firewall:

* Sygate Personal Firewall - (Free)

Note: Even though sygate has been sold to Norton, you can still get the Sygate Personal Firewall. The latest version is 5.6 as is available for download in the link above.



Hope this helps!

try it on a slipstreamed sp2 install

SP2 is the best thing to ever happen to XP
