If you mean free.. I have no idea. I personally like McAfee Personal Firewall though. Has never let me down in the past. Sygate is good also.

As an OT, I really wish Symantec would stop buying out companies. Have they at least re-released Sygate under their moniker? They bought out a company last year, and won't even make their product available. It's sad, because Symantec doesn't even have a substitute for that companies only product.
