Any recommendations on a good software firewall? I have one of those nifty Nforce3 motherboards with the firewall built in, but the damned thing does not seem to work very well.
I have tried Zonealarm in the past, but it has always ended up screwing my internet connection after a couple months. Usually it's awesome for the first little while, and my connection starts to behave as if the ports are all blocked, even when I shut the firewall down. It also wrecks havoc on my pings, and it sucks to play online games with a ping of 250+
So really, I'm looking for a good software firewall that won't totally destroy my pings, and won't mess up my internet connection ... sounds easy
