Another "free" alternative is Sygate's product
http://sygate.com/
It's not as easy as zonealarm and takes an understanding of your ports to

But anyone who can handle cygwin can handle sygate's product. I have
noticed a slowing of the system if needed ports aren't open for browser
ads and such but over all I have no real complaints (yet)
