I was looking for something better than M$ Firewall.
I found COMODO Firewall which is free, they also have a free AntiVirus as well I have’t tested that as of yet.
COMODO Firewall is light(does not require alot of resources), very easy to use and it includes a a HOST IDS for FREE
From COMODO’s website:
Comodo Firewall is the multi-layered security application that keeps hackers out and personal information in.
Built from the ground upwards with your security in mind, this award winning firewall constantly monitors and defends your system from inbound and outbound attacks. The application also features a fully fledged Host Intrusion Prevention System to protect your critical operating system files and block viruses and malware before they ever get the chance to install.
