    it depends on what you want...

    there are both Software and Hardware firewalls

    Software ones are like Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Norton etc...

    Hardware ones are like the ones that you find on SOHO routers and as stand alone rack mount units...

    Something like Zone Alarm (which has a free version) is prolly your best bet as far as price performance goes...but generally hardware FW are the absoluete best you can ever get.
