I need a good free firewall.....

Thread Starter 
I had some type of trojan and after deleting it (possibly) with Hitman Pro, my firewall (Mcafee, nor windows) will stay turned on. Evidently I still have troubles but to research it I prefer to have some type of firewall. I was looking at Zonealarm from cnet but the reviews are not that good. Any ideas here?

Use the entire Comodo Internet Security suite. Best free suite AV + Firewall.

Thx...I am actually downloading Comodo as I type this. Reviews seemed good. Reason I didnt go with zonealarm was all the reviews about a popup stating you needed to update it, yet it would already be updated. Thx though for the info on Comodo...
