Kerio Personal Firewall is pretty decent too - I run it here with no
problems once I turn off the IDS (in free mode, v4 only has packet
filtering on incoming/outgoing connections, none of the more advanced
interprocess communcation control, etc).  If you run XP, you can use the
built in firewall (moreso, get the SP2 RC and use the more powerful
firewall in that).


I'm one of the people who produces ClamAV for Windows using Cygwin.
Unfortunately, we dont have real time scanning yet.  Working on it
though from what I know.
