You can use either Comodo or Zonealarm. I have used both. Currently using Zonealarm.

ZoneAlarm is good dude...... If you are ready to shell out some money then Outpost is the best......

I was not able to upload data and file. I had problem uploading photos to this forum and tinypic. Also had problems while registering, was not able to register in a no of sites. I used it only for 1 day. There is a thread in this forum as I was confused.later found out my sygate firewall is causing the problem.

thats just strange... well you can't guarantee flawless operation on every comp for a sw. maybe it was having some conflicts with some other app installed...maybe something else.

May be. Never found out the reason. You never experienced similar issues, I presume.

For participants,

If you are not satisfied with all 3, try Ashampoo Firewall. I feel first two will be a better choice.
