Hi willmiller - welcome to Kirupa :)

You'll probably get more responses to your question if you post it in the right section - you should use the Computer & Games/Tech area.

Most of the good firewalls will cost, but a google might help.

[thats all folks]

I believe Microsoft has a bundle firewall virus ect protection that you can download. I know you have to pay for it but I think it really cheap.

I've used tiny personal firewall before and it doesn't slow the pc too much.

A nice way to keep your computer safe is add to the hosts file a list of those servers that are just ad servers. That will keep you safe from a lot of ads.
