Nobbe,

Two good free firewalls are ZoneAlarm and Kerio Personal Firewall. :)

One firewall's enough for most people, two's good enough for me and three's for if you're totally paranoid Glenn. ;)

What's better and what are the differences between Software firewalls and Hardware firewalls?

Hardware Firewall - A physical piece of hardware between your computer and your Internet Modem.

Software Firewall - Software running on your computer, or a physical hardware between your comp and modem.


In your case you have to ask yourself if you are going to set  up a network and do all kind of strange things. If not, a decent software firewall is all that is needed.

If you, like me and C6, have separate comps on a network, a hardware firewall might be a nice compliment to a normal software firewall. :)

On our setup, we have 3 layers of Security walls. ;)
