Hello,
(ANS) If you want the best software firewall then I can highly recommend ZoneAlarms (basic freeware version) why? the ZoneAlarm products all use a technique called "statefull packet inspection" (SPI) this is a VERY tough & highly robust method of protecting systems from intrusion.
**SPI is a well tried & tested firewalling method & is used in millions of routers, WiFi routers, hardware firewalls & commercial products. (Avoid products that only offer packet filtering as they are NOT as secure or robust).
I have been using Zone Alarms free basic firewall for many many years and its extremely reliable and highly trustworth, set it & forget it.
**The paid versions are equally good but have more bells & whistles than I wanted or are nesseccary.
10 out of 10 (possibly the best peice of freeware I have on my system).

the links the first guy suggest are good.
if you don't feel like going through all of them then try "zone alarm"

i've seen a lot of reviews in the net and it's the best.
there's a free version and full version. the free version is more than enough for a personal home computer.
