Sometimes Sygate lags my system and internet connection.
Can anyone recommend a firewall that's a little "lighter"? Thanks.

Forgot to mention I have XP Home SP2 (I'd use the Windows firewall, but it doesn't have outbound protection.)
Just use the Windows-Firewall. Sygate has horribly security design flaws anyway, like the fact, that the system services of Sygate "Personal Firewall" are opening windows. And with Sygate a SelfDoS is possible.

"Outbound protection" of "Personal Firewalls" does not work at all. It can only control software, which allows to be controlled.

Use windows firewall with a good trojan stopper. I use BOclean 412. It even stops Leaktest
