One of my friend wants to have ABSOLUTLY a firewall on his comp . He run a 800 mhz comp so its kinda slow . What would be the best firewall that wouldn't use too much ressources ?

"ZoneAlarm Plus" is a limited feature, less bulky version of ZoneAlarm seems to have a much smaller footprint on the system resources.

go get an old 486, go get o-p-e-n-b-s-d (damm hahaha), then go read the docs

how can you expect security software to run as expected on a highly unsecure platform in the first place

Some pcs have problems with Zone Alarm.

I like McAfee's Personal Firewall Plus. Works like a charm.

Norton Internet Security may be good, but often fucks up surfing ( even GFY ), at least for me.
