Can anybody recommend me some free firewalls.
I have used Jetico Firewall.
It is not so good.
Before I used to use Kerio,which is now closed.
Please let me know if there are anymore good free firewalls.

Try ZoneAlarm Firewall...its the best Freeware Firewall you can ask for! But good firewalls are always paid so you can go for Outpost, ZoneAlarm or McAfee for paid ones!

Well, it depends. If you want only a firewall, Windows has its own one. If you prefer a good one, buy it (or get it from a friend called Emule).

I use Kerio Personal Firewall. Unfortunately, the product was bought by Sunbelt Software and they stopped offering it for free.

I currently use Mcafee which comes free with my comcast cable internet connection.

It's been good so far.

No doubt that Zone alarm is the best free firewall software available. I can give everyone an advice for choosing any free software. firstly you can go to www.download.com. then you can enter the category you want. then you can rearrange programs by popularity or by rating to get noticed about how much this program will be useful and adaptable to you

I use the one that comes built in with Windows

I agree, I wouldn't see the need for any other firewall unless you suspect someone is spying on you, or you want to survey some ips.

You should use ZoneAlram (as recommended by other users). Its the best firewall I've ever seen and very easy to integrate and understand the system.

Oh!
Maybe I should try Zone Alarm.
