Any recommendations for firewall software?
I had Norton Internet Security on my computer until recently. I seemed to have so many problems with my computer until I removed it. I'm looking now for a new provider, but would like some input from you guys. Most of you guys seem to know quite a bit about this kind of stuff (at least a lot more than I do). Don't be goin and gettin a big head now.... :)

I don't think the XP firewall is really all that good though... McAffee has a subscription based service, but there are other free firewall or antivirus programs you can get from the internet. Here's a thread from another forum about Anitvirus programs. It'll hopefully help you out :)

My choice is Avast antivirus home(free) with Kerio Personal Firewall(now known as Outpost Kerio Personal Firewall(also free).
