Use Avast and it will do all good. I do not see any need of a firewall personally.

Windows Firewall is good, it does it's job pretty fine. If you need more control over outbound packet filtering, then go for ZoneAlarm Free firewall.

yepp ZoneAlarm free firewall was the one I was using earlier. But I noticed slight lag in the internet speed so I discontinued using that. And I think that's the case with all the firewalls. As swatkat proposes Windows Firewall is also good....

Zonealarm takes a lot of resources while working online but it wont let pass anything :). Avast 5 pro and Nod32 are one of best AV programs IMO.

Avast 5,if you really need a 3rd party firewall,get Comodo.

Get avast home edition, it simply ROCKS, next for a firewall get windows defender or any other third party application
