Well, Comodo Internet Security has a free version that I linked to, in my opinion the best security software that you can get for home computers. It has tons of configuration options, but that may be too much of a learning curve for most users. It's well worth it though imo.
People were questioning this company in the beginning cause they couldn't believe they could just deliver such an advanced security program for free, unless there is a catch. But they're doing it to increase their reputation and earn trust in their company, to make people buy some of their other security solutions.
I highly recommend people to try it out. They have a forum with lots of tips how to configure it for maximum security.
The firewall even has a Paranoid Mode you can switch too, but I haven't tried that myself. I think it's overkill that may cause too much problems with safe applications.

Nice. Now I only need to catch Peter when getting ready for the next drop.
Peter:
I've tried comodo. Worked quite well for a while, I did like the options, then after a update it accessed my hdd continuously. A reinstall didn't fix it, not using any firewall besides the default windows firewall now. Using AVG as a virusscanner.
Botsareus:
Ay, I am planning in investing a couple 100 in a decent firewall. The way peterIM works, all I need is port 79 open right? If not, what are the other ports used for?

Im just wishing IM opens multiple ports one day :)
Anyway, Kaspersky has this interesting thing where at a really low cost you can buy a version 2 or 3 years old. Then it lets you update for free to the latest version.
I have Kaspersky, Microsoft forefront gateway (and for my developer OS AVG)
