ZoneAlarm competitor?
New host-based firewall is giving ZoneAlarm a run for its money.
Several readers are saying the Comodo Personal Firewall 2.0 is as good as the ZoneAlarm firewall, and it's free. I haven't personally tested it myself, but you may want to.

"...it's free"
Not exactly; you have to give them your Email address; but if you use a throw-away address, that's not bad!
In a shop where they have a shared external firewall and are on a tight budget, this would be a nice enhancement over the <sarcasm>fabulous</sarcasm> XP firewall. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Roger...
