What is a good firewall program?

I would recommend ZoneAlarm (www.zonealarm.com) to anyone. It's free for home use.

It requires almost no configuration. Just install it and run it. As programs try to access the Internet from your computer, it asks if you want to allow this; further, it asks if you want to allow this every time or just this time. Then it remembers your answer.

It also blocks ALL access to your computer from outside sources, and keeps a log of attempts, along with IP addresses. This does NOT block your use of file sharing software like Kazaa or Bearshare.

go for answerer # 1
there's nothin finer, liked it so much I upgraded to the pro version.
cost a couple $$, but money well spent.
after all someone has to help keep them in business.
otherwise there won't be a free version for the next person. :)

You can also try BlackIce Defender which can block ports, record IP's and also keep evidence logs of attempted intrusions - among other features. Plus lots of Advice is ava from there site simply by clicking on The "Advice" button. Relativly cheap product...well worth the money
