For some of you who never had a personal firewall, you may be asking why would I need another program on my computer? Well let me tell you that without it, you have very little idea of the background programs sending stuff(wanted or unwanted) over you Internet connection. It also pretects against mirc/aim bots used by hackers, ad-ware/spyware which may send personal info out that you do not necessarily want out.
Now the free program is called Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/zlpromo/zagrid.htm) . It is free so it does not have all the features of the pro-version but it works very well after you use it for a while.

Test your firewall:
Firewall test(outside) (https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2)
Leak Test(inside) (http://grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm)
