My favorite one always has been Kerio Sunbelt Personal Firewall. But now that I turned to Windows 7 x64 OS I can't, because it barely has support for Vista. Do any of them ask permission for every single launching application as this one did. I haven't tried any other yet, but I recall in most of them you grant permission to an application and they do whatever they want without asking later on. This one also asked when modifications occurred (say you upgraded a program, MD5 changes and asks again).
Do you know if any of them do that?
@Bryan Ischo: Your recommendation is pointless as Mac OS doesn't work on PCs but overpriced custom PCs. Now I'm having small detail problems building myself a "Hackintosh" for research purposes as my clients are starting to use Macs too. However not everyone has the knowledge to do so. Did you just suggest PC users to move to Mac OS like in "you have a working useful car but I suggest you ought to have a new overpriced one"? Or to Linux as if everyone run their own servers.
AFAIK, target for non developers here is gaming. Mac OS is improving but neither Mac OS or any Linux distro does what Windows can.
