>I personally recommend ZoneAlarm Pro
I would not recommand ZoneAlarm Pro (search Google for latest infon
about
ZA), but recommend OutpostPro or Look'n'Stop 2.04 instead, see
http://www.agnitum.com/php_scripts/compare2.php
(good comparison chart) and
http://www.looknstop.com/En/download.htm

Don't mislead with this test, it's not enough to pass just this test -
it's pretty simple and any FW will pass this test. But ... you should
pass
ALL 5 TESTS.See
http://www.pcflank.com/art21.htm
to download the leak tests, or
http://www.looknstop.com/En/leaktests.htm
for further info. Download tests from these sites and ... good luck ;-)
You can use "pcflank" site as the first (but not the only!) resort to
test
your PC for vulnerabilities. An excellent site to test your system
almost
entirely is "ShieldsUp!" from Gibson Research Corporation (GRC) at
https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
