    [my opinion]
    Comodo or Kaspersky...
    The best solution so far.

    Does Kaspersky have a standalone firewall?

    i dont use AV, i run all the internet programs as normal user with runas.exe
    and wfc as firewall manager, securing the rules from adding, removing all the default rules, adding just dns and dhcp

    there is a lot of program/malware that can elevate themself -
    to higher privileges, with help from new 0day un-patch

    I use Eset because of it's light impact on system performance, and the low amount of false positives. I have read, in several places, that BitDefender is the best or one of the best free alternatives. I can usually pick up an Eset license on sale for $20 or less, and unlike some others, their subscription doesn't start until you install it.

    Do you have a link to it? I googled and can't find a firewall as a standalone product. A firewall seems to be part of KIS and KTS only as a module.
    TIA
