I wanted TinyWall but it does not support XP.

One of the best so far. Only a 1MB installer.

I only used 2 firewalls. Windows firewall and Comodo firewall.

When I first got Comodo firewall I felt fully protected. Then got a virus and re-installed windows. Your computers security isn't only based on what software you use. If you visit a site called: getfreegold.com (don't visit it, if it exists) you're bound to get a virus.

 

I think the default windows firewall offers the a good protection as long as you don't visit websites like that. More "professional" firewalls are for the paranoid :P
