Windows 7 comes with a corking firewall that works great... Click start > type windows firewall in the search box and select windows firewall with advanced security...
You can configure highly detailed rules from here.
I use comodo works fine although you have to run in vista mode from the compatability tab to get it set up
Thanks Mr james, i was already using that just never had any confidence in microshite stuff, but i'll take your word for it and keep using it.
Prezzy i tried 64 bit version of comodo wouldn't work m8.
Do either of you use peerguardian with windows 7, couldn't get it to work either.
Cheers

Ok m8 trying that now, cheers.
It's just as secure as any other firewall on the market. Just not as pretty or easy to use as some of the others.
But if you're connected to the internet via a router you're not only protected by your windows firewall, but the firewall on the router and you also have a 3rd form of protection in the form of Network Address Traversal (NAT). Which basically means that your PC can't be contacted from the internet without it first making the connection to the hacker...
Even in compatibly mode, comodo not working for me, i will stick with 7's own firewall until something more useable/stable comes out, thanks everyone
