Need recommendation on firewall program

New DSL connection is great but I think I ought to get a firewall installed. I know that some of you out there are pretty savvy on this. Any recommendations are appreciated.

TIA

simple solution is Zone Alarm, it is free and seems to work well.

Thanks, just installed it. One of many reasons why this forum is great. Where else are you going

to be able to access such a wide spectrum of knowledge?

Thanks again,

I was very happy w/ Black Ice Defender....

but I did run into a conflict w/ the old @Home internet software. Aside from hat, it was great.
