I wud recommend Zone Alarm and a Good Spyware detector like Adaware SE or Spybot and a good antivirus like Norton, AVG, Avast or McAfee. All shud be updated regularly.

ZoneAlarm for Windows is pretty good. It doesn't slow down the speed.
A propery configured single Firewall will never slow down your internet. Leaving windows xp firewall on with that too especially after SP2 will definatly solow down your internet.
ZoneAlarm works like acharm and it not bloated at all.

check that and decide for urself

also there was another security threat ... a means of bypassing a firewall ..
and this was checked in za ...
other firewalls are still prone to it
i cant exactly explain this .. and i cant seem to find the link ..
so ill post again after i find it
btw for deciding on a firewall u have to see its performance ... not its features and how it is diff from other firewalls ..
even tho they are important ... the main point is how secure is the firewall

like raven said check the link. Also if ur a complete newbie to firewalls then I would suggest Zone Alarm. Simply because of the ease of use. Look 'n' stop is higly configurable however because of this feature its not easy to use.
Ur firewall is a layer thru which all requests are routed thru. Once the permissions are set then this will just watch the traffic and nothing more. Hence it wont slow down ur speed.
