Can anybody recommend a "Personal Firewall" that's easy to use. For a gauge
Comodo was too complicated for me. I'd like something more along the lines
of the dearly departed Sygate Personal Firewall. Too bad Symantec gobbled
them up and killed it.

I'd also love to have a recommendation on a firewall for Windows XP Pro x64
if there is one.

Have a look at Online Armor - I've just dropped Comodo for it - and I
am well pleased.

Zone alarm is about as simple as they come...I was using Comodo but went
back to ZoneAlarm when they added intrusion detection features that I
didn't want. I don't think it has an x64 version.

OK, thanks. I might be able to keep using the copy of Sygate I still have if
I can ever get this motherboard to load xp home. For some reason it won't,
but it will load xp pro x64. Sounds like a stupid windows trick to me.]

Thanks for the mention. I'm using it on a machine with XP Home, but kinda
pointless to run xp home on a triple core machine.
