I use Norton Firewall and I love it - does the job very well in my opinion but I know of others who don't like it for whatever reason. I have a complicated rule base as I also setup VPN's between by friends so this product is ideal.
ZoneAlarm is good up until a point. ZoneAlarm pro is a far superior product compared to its free counterpart.
As the saying goes, you pays your money you takes your choice.

I used to use Norton, I now use Zone Alarm Pro. The one thing that annoys me is the pop-up telling me that "privacy setting have affected this site". If someone can tell me how to turn this off I would be eternally grateful.

I used Norton personal firewall for a while, but when I checked the log, I was recording no events. Tech support was useless. When trying ZoneAlarms Pro, I recorded 2-3 events a day (i.e., things looking at my IP address, which may or may not be hackers), so I stayed with that. It seemed to be capturing more things. But, it may have just been computer or Norton setup problems on my end. I still use the Norton Utilities and Norton Antivirus.
As an aside, yesterday I set up a Linksys 802.11b wireless Access Point and Router in my home yesterday to wirelessly extend my DSL broadband line. To my surprise, I found the LinkSys supports integrated "enhanced gateway security" using ZoneAlarms Pro, by selecting that option in the LinkSys operating system and the ZoneAlarms Pro software (see the top of the Advanced Firewall settings). It apparently brings some of the ZoneAlarms Pro functionality beyond my PC to the LynkSys device. Exactly how useful this is, or exactly what it is, I have not yet determined. The LinkSys device does not include the same support for Norton Personal Firewall.
