ZoneAlarm is offered free and most people end up using that instead of
paying money.

Tiny Personal Firewall is also free (www.tinysoftware.com) and far superior
to ZoneAlarm IMHO, as well as much superior to BlackIce. I have not used
any of the Symantec or McAffee products however.

And what do you mean personal firewalls are already free? Last I checked,
Symantec, BlackIce and McAffee all had competing commercial products.
