Best Firewall for Home Users - Windows - Request for Information

Asked by DigitalArmada in Security Utilities, Desktop Anti-Virus, Consumer Firewalls

Tags: Firewall, Security,

Hi,

I run a small PC repair business.  Majority of customers are home users.

As part of a PC Health Check,  I try to ensure all clients are running with decent
Anti-Virus and Firewall software.

At the moment I recommend Kaspersky Internet Security (as it is the current PC Pro A-Listed Security Suite.)

However, some clients dont want to pay the £45 pound for this.

I want to ensure I leave Clients PC's as secure as possible,  in an instance when a customer does not
want to pay for Kaspersky,  I will install AVG Anti-Virus.....which is quite good.  And just use the Windows built in firewall.

However, I am sure there will be better firewalls out there, which are free.  But I don't know of any.
What free firewall do you guys recommend ?
