where can i download windows firewall for free

This is included into Microsoft XP Service pack 2 and Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1. Based on how it behaves, I'd stay away from this firewall because though it blocks most things, it doesn't prompt the user as much as other firewalls may do. Depending on how you setup your computer, the higher the security level, the more the firewall will prompt you as it finds more potential threats. If you don't like prompts, stick with windows firewall or set a third party firewall at its most laid back setting.
But keep in mind, your firewall is only as effective as its ability to monitor trusted applications it lets through. Suspicious programs are becoming more complex and hook onto trusted programs. This is why even if you don't like prompts or understand them, they may serve as a warning. I personally don't understand everything mine says, but that's technology.
