I've used firewalls in the past and found that I like zonealarm but when I did a fresh installation of windows 7 4 months ago I tried to install zonealarm in compatible mode and it did not work. So now they come up with a version for windows 7 but you have to pay, What's up with that? I was thinking if you could extract the drivers from the the 30 days free trail and then install the free edition in compatible mode. Or if someone knows of a good firewall, I used comodo and don't like it.
