You have NortonAV, they also make a firewall (Norton Personal Firewall, IIRC). There are also free ones available. ZoneAlarm from ZoneLabs is what I have and it seems to work pretty well.<br>

Yup, I use Zone alarm (free version) and it serves my needs fine, plus I find that having compared it to other firewalls coming as bundled packages (ie norton, with virus scanning, pop up killing also etc) it actually gives you much more choice about your configuration.<br>
