What is the best firewall?

Hello friends,

I got the blaster virus - and i don't want to go through that again!

A friend has said that a firewall called Black Ice is the best - I've never heard of that one.

Can you advise me? I really must get one installed

Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

I can tunnel ZA in 90 seconds black ice is right there with it, Sygate Pro isn't bad for software but your best bet is a D-Link broadband router, I like the wireless router, DI-614+, it has a hardware firewall built it. If you buy the refurbished one at overstock.com, including ground shipping, it's $58. I've bought and installed 5 of them (6 new ones previously) at friends/customers. Turn off ping response from WAN, and you'll be about as secure as you can easily make yourself. The interface is pretty simple, too, if you need to enable any ports. I talked to some D-Link engineers and they told me that their chips had some integrated circuitry, and basically, it was cheaper to just use the same mid-range ASIC that goes in their mid-range business firewall than produce something for the low-end. Since it was there, why not just leave it enabled in the web-based GUI? So, there you have it. A broadband router, 4-port switch, wireless router and hardware firewall for $60 maybe cheaper.
