...by that I mean it uninstalls as well as it installs, leaving no registry entries, etc. behind. Comodo FAILS to do this. ZoneAlarm conflicted with my system. Please, and answer for a polite firewall? :-)

The Windows Firewall?

Well, yes I guess, if it's what you mean by a firewall. Anyone else??
Comodo and ZoneAlarm aren't really firewalls either - so your point being?
I fear, anti-virus programs are a vale of tears themselves.
In contrast to "Personal Firewalls" one can do sensible things with them, but most people don't. And the vendors don't do so in default configuration.
Additionally, people are misunderstanding, because of false advertizing.
Hey, didn't know it. Looks good. Did anyone test the results?
No Free Software, but freeware, and that could be enough, if the results are correct.

Yes, works fine (on W2K and XP).
I mean, did you connect to a second box directly, and run nmap?
Yours, VB.
You can check out the last freeware version of Tiny Personal Firewall. It does its job and is very non-intrusive. You can find a link to it (along with a truckload of other information) at this website:

Go to the firewalls section. I think they might also have a link to a manual configuration if you're so inclined.
Try Core Force

it's based on a port of the PF 'engine' that BSD uses. The PF system is also used on hardware devices like Nokia Firewalls so it's pretty good.
I've used it in the past and liked it but I run Linux at home now so IPTables is my defence of choice, and SELinux of course.
