Ok, I've always thought they're critical in keeping unauthorized intruders out, but my own programs are being blocked too. I'll post the results of Windows Firewall and ZoneAlarm. Yes for programs that did connect, NO for ones that won't.

Windows - IE: Yes, Spybot S&D: Yes, Steam: Yes, Kazaa Lite Tools K++: NO
ZoneAlarm - IE: NO, Spybot S&D: NO, Steam: Yes, Kazaa Lite Tools K++: NO

That's a version of Kazaa I've never used never, I did make KLR and others work in the past. I suspect that a Windows security update in mid-November might be related to these issues, since my OS had to be reinstalled and reconfigured around that time. So, can anyone recommend me a firewall and a GOOD FastTrack client?

I use Norton Internet Security, and it works much better than any free firewalls I've ever had. But it also costs money. So yeah, I never found a free one I was satisfied with.

I use Sygate Firewall Pro. Works well, hasn't been a ressource hog too.

Cost money (but it's worth it)
