If you're running Windows XP, you already have a very effective firewall built it. To date, it hasn't been compromised. It provides limited outbound protection but is highly effective at protecting your system from outside attacks.

bostonian is correct. Although the Windows firewall does not stop malware from sending information, from your computer to the computer that installed it, the point is to not get the malware or hacker in the first place.
The Windows Firewall is excellent at stopping them from getting on your computer.

Try zone alarm is the best firewall. No other firewall has better performance than it.
