Use the free version of ZoneAlarm. ZoneAlarm does a much better job restricting malicious programs from accessing the Internet. The XP firewall lets programs have a free pass out of the firewall.

Comodo personal firewall- one of few firewalls that can pass most leak tests - http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
and
AOL Active Virus Shield which is based on award winning Kapersky anti-virus software - http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp?

McAfee takes the crown in the free category.

AVG is good for a while for free but Macafee seems to be about the best.

I've found Kerio personal firewall is pretty good...
