For my home windows PC (shhh.. dont tell anyone) I used zone alarm. url is www.zonealarm.com it's pretty for personal use and best of all it's free..

Ehm ... for me, I use the same one as Oki, zone alarm (but sshh ... keep this a secret as well, only Oki and I and some few thousand people are using it). :)

On top of that, my router has a firewall too.

I used OpenBSD as the firewall on my DSL line.

On my Windows PCs, I use AtGuard as a backup firewall, but mainly as a cookie and banner ad blocker.

On my home PC I use Tiny Personal Firewall, and I like it a lot...:)

ZoneAlarm for me as well. It seemed like the best option when I was researching firewall solutions.

Yes, ZoneAlarm is my choice.
