Good free firewall - NOT ZoneAlarm!
notveryawesome:
Thanks, all. I think I'll try the new ZoneAlarm, since I liked it until it broke.
BTW, you can change the settings on AVG 8.0 to not scan automatically. In fact, the option is included during the setup process.
Doc Doofus:
I recently gave up on Zonealarm as well, and switched to Avira Antivir. It seems to have one of the best reputations on Cnet, for what that's worth. I have it installed on two computers in my house.

I switched to Avira Antivir for all three of my PCs a couple of months ago. I have its services disabled so it only runs when I ask it to. My copy says it only gives me 6 months free though. Runs out in November. I'm happy with it so far, it's found trojans that other anti-virus solutions have not. I tested several solutions including Clamwin - which I really liked - but it never managed to successfully update itself in several weeks.
Lorelei:
ZA and Avast work for me, but I disabled MS auto-updating.
Comodo was the other professional geek-recommended firewall.
Emma:
I'm currently using F-Secure as it came free for 3 months along with my shiny free Broadband. Before that I had Norton but it seemed too 'Danger, Danger Will Robinson!' I don't think I'll go back :D I might stick with F-Secure as it is unobtrusive and reliable. I have crappy Windows Firewall too as a backup.
