zone alarm and Black Ice are good.
I use black ice but it doesn't "see" unsolicited outbound traffic like what would be caused by a trojan app running on the machine, zone alarm does detect the outbound traffic. Both are great at stopping inbound traffic (unsolicited). Either of these in conjunction with a decent NAT router (Linksys befsr41 for example) will protect you nicely. You will basically be invisible to the various internet sweeps that hackers perform. Since I got my router my black ice hasn't chirped once (over a year and a half)

I use an older version of this http://www.kerio.com/us/kpf_home.html and I am behind a NAT hub. I also don't use internet explorer, outlook or p2p apps which helps.

Our civilization faces three great dangers. The first is destruction by a nuclear war, the second is being crippled with overpopulation and the third is the Age of Leisure.
