Firewall for Windows XP Professional x64

Hi again,

I'm running Windows XP Professional x64 and my problem is the firewall.
I am connected through the router (Edimax Fast Ethernet) and I have the firewall enabled in it.

I was searching for some solutions but there doesn't seem to be any good firewall for x64 - can you please advise me on this - I would like to be able to control application access in any simple manner.

I look forward.

http://www.kaspersky.com/kis6 - very good AV software scanner also
http://www.simtel.net/product.php?id=53687 - Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6

Also forgot AVAST 64 bit AV home edition which also contains webshield. Its also free if you register :

I use this myself and find it pretty good combined with perguardian and aaplying strict security on local PC's and on my router.

Thanks hjf288 - that's really good product - I've been using it before on my 32bits and it was amasingly good firewall - I didn't know they've finally developed x64 version - thanks a lot.
