Default Recommend me a free firewall.

Like the title says.
I need a free firewall to keep my moms pc safe ...
Its a crappy P3 that I've ocd from 733 to 853(going for more soon) with 196mb of rams and an ATi RageXL agp2x videocard ...
I need some sort of free protection against malware that doesn't eat much resources.

Comodo Firewall.
It's a security suite now.. so you have to disable the Antivirus, etc.

If you are behind a router, windows firewall is more than enough.

I've been using ZoneAlarm for about 5 years. In that time I've suffered no security problems - that I know of.
I'd recommend it highly, but obviously haven't given anything else much of a go.

Actually, don't some routers have some decent firewalling of their own? I use DD-WRT on a Linksys and it seems to be pretty robust. For my other machines I use the Windows native.

With a little editing, you could make it well protected.
