Zonealarm Firewall or Comodo firewall? (Free)
Which is better? I remember using comodo in the past and it was too strong. But I hope they fixed that. I also used zonealarm b4 but forgot how it was.

There are several excellent tutorials here on using/configuring Windows Firewall
Windows Firewall - Turn On or Off
- How to Change the Windows Firewall Notification Settings in Windows 7
- How to Restore the Default Windows Firewall Settings in Windows 7
- How to Add or Remove a Windows Firewall Exception in Windows 7
- How to Create a Windows Firewall Shortcut in Windows 7
ZoneAlarm has been reported to not play well with Windows 7 so you may want to steer clear of it.
Just one more thing
Zone has caused many BSODs. If you dont know what that is, believe you are better off.
In terms of free, Comodo is better. You can turn off the additional levels of security and use it as a firewall only.
I am currently using windows firewall, but I want to see if there's better alternatives.
If you want to take a in depth look at Comodo's functions & capabilities, here is a link:

I have been using comodo forever, and it has gotten better. Comodo firewall = windows firewall > Zone alarm
