    If it has to be one of those then I would suggest comodo firewall. There firewall from my experience is the best one but atm I recently went back to use window firewall and mse. Was using comodo Internet security for a while then was with a kaspkrey trial for a while but just went back with mse. Works fine so far with the windows firewall. My pc passes the shields up test with the windows firewall, all you have to do is setup your routers firewall and you past the test. Just had to set up my router not to respond to pings and changed the router from wpa to wpa2.

    I would tell you to stay with the built in Windows Firewall, this is more than sufficient for normal "home" traffic.

    BUT if you must have a third party firewall I would tell you to use Outpost out of all the free firewalls I have found Outpost is about the easiest to configure and use.

    I've never been a big fan of Commodo products, their antivirus will pick up completely legit programs as viruses and trojans and their firewall will nag you to death about incomming and outgoing traffic it can be a real pain in the a$$ sometimes.
