ZA is easy and blocks just about everything. Tiny is also as good, but a little harder to get up, and I don't like the constant boxes asking for permission, I'm sure there is a way around that with rules though.
ZA and Tiny are supposed to be the best of the free. I like Norton. Blackice is suppossed to be worthless. A dsl router with built in firewall is the best solution of al.
I switched to Tiny recently since ZA left a few gaping holes in firewall protection on xp. I don't like Blackice at all. ZA was my favorite, hope they fix it for xp soon.
Tiny PF but it can be hard to setup. ZA is pretty good but once you allow a program access to the net it can access any port instead of a specific port. BlackIce is intrusion detection and does not close any ports.
