Bob,
I found Norton Internet Security is a bit better integrated with
Windows. Zone Alarm (the free version) will require you to figure out
which programs are OK (and a lot of them are from Windows itself), while
Norton would have the Windows' programs that need internet access
already known.
If you end up spending money on the firewall, Norton may be something
you want a look into.
If you're up to learning a new OS, you can always take a junker 486 or
Pentium and turn it into a firewall yourself.
