Help me with my firewall

[willmiller]

My firewall that comes with my windows xp slows down my computer. What will be a better one firewall I can download and use for free?

i use Kerio personal firewall. I think there is a free easy to use version of that. It is very good especially the customisable one i use but its kinda for advanced users.

which firewall are you using?

If it's Norton and you also have Norton System Utilities, the utilities part is well known for slowing PCs down. If so, you can uninstall the system utilities and just keep the firewall and antivirus.
