Keeping the outside out: Seven desktop firewalls tested McAfee Desktop Firewall

Budget award: Kerio Personal Firewall

For smaller installations, or those on a shoestring budget, Kerio Personal Firewall is free for non-commercial use, and is reasonably priced even if you're not buying 500 copies.

    You did not review the new eTrust EZ Armor. It is different now; it consists of eTrust EZ Antivirus and eTrust EZ Firewall (which is ZoneLabs technology). So you have a good antivirus, not a resource hog, uses less space on hard drive, and "ZoneAlarm." There are not many better.
