Are there any decent firewalls for Windows. I use Sygate right now, but
i can't block on incoming SYN which is a royal pain, because my parents
forget to click "NO" and instead click "YES". This is because every time
some idiot tries to connect to a port above 1024 a box pops up.

Forget Sygate. Just use the Windows-Firewall. Popups are a b0rken
concept, as you can see.

BTW: the correct answer on a SYN is RST, if the port should be "closed".
