    depends on what you want to do ? download a free one like sygate smb.sygate.com/download/download.php?pid=spf a lot of people use it and find it fine and FREE

    The ICF (windows firewall is not that good) thats why I suggested Sygate but leave the ICF while your downloading and once sygates running didable the windows one

    when you installed sygate did you set it to normal or block all ? there's a help file in sygate...
    it's a good firewall but when first installed like all firewalls it need to be set up
