And bah again, I say. Looks like the AVG update on my PC has broken my Sygate firewall (it's an old Windows 2K box). Can anyone recommend any reputable free alternatives? EDIT: Alternatives to the firewall, preferably - it looks like SPF has died a death.

In the interim, I've used the Eee to download the Sygate installer again, to see if that fixes the issue, and while there, also the ZoneAlarm one (which I used on the previous PC), but can anyone suggest an alternative to those? Ta!

EDIT: Sorry, looks like I wasn't quite clear. It's the firewall that I need a replacement for, as a) I'm otherwise happy with AVG, b) SPF wouldn't run after a complete un-and-reinstall, even after I'd temporarily uninstalled AVG as a test and c) ZoneAlarm's current version won't run on 2K.
