If you need a software firewall, Zone
Alarm would be my preferred selection. It has a nice interface and has
some very good features that will let you have good control on creating
specific rules. However my experience is it does use extra resources and slows
down the computer as most software firewalls would. If possible,
you might want to consider using the Zone Alarm Z100G hardware firewall instead.

Firewalls
I have several computers that I would like to install
software firewalls on. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good ones or could
recommend for or against either zone alarm or Norton internet security.
Thanks
