The best firewall I used was Tiny Personal Firewall V2.

I didn't like version 3 I found it to cumbersome.


You should get "hijackthis" and use it to scan a known clean computer.
Then you can put all the found entry into an ignore list.
It should be empty after that.

Then next time you scan if you find a registry entry you will know it shouldn't be there unless you recently installed something.

Also get spybot
and spywareblaster

The three I mentioned are donationware and free to download.

http://merijn.org/
is where you can get the last three
