Hi Hisoka,

I assume you're using Windows? If so, as Bobbyraw said, ZoneAlarm is pretty good. You can get the free firewall at download.com (search for "ZoneAlarm Firewall" without quotes - should be the first hit).

You could also try Comodo firewall available here: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/

Post again if you're not using Windows and we can help you further.
