I don't have any experience of the others,

I don't have XP, but would not imagine that the built in firewall offers as
much protection as a 3rd party one.
Anyone that know better, please correct me below:

but I have been using ZoneAlarm(The free version) ever since I move over to
broadband at home, and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone.
Simple to use. Good level of protection against hackers.

Don't forget some decent Anti-Virus as well...

Regards,

ChrisM
