I prefer zone alarm, cause its less resourve intensive.
Have you tried Sygate Personal Firewall? It's free, and seems to be more configurable and have better logging than both McAfee and ZA.
u get what you pay for
Mcafee normally cost money - and frankly - unless you have an old system - the resources it uses should not be noticable.

Zonealarm Pro is what I use and it works quite well. It can block pop-up's and can be put into stealth mode. The only other firewall I like is Sygate personal but it's nearly simular to Zonealarm Pro 4.0.

I have been happy with zonealarm. I havn't heard the best things about MacAfee AV but I havn't heard anything about the firewall. I say put MacAfee on for a couple of weeks and decide for yourself.

I have had extremely good luck with McAfee AV myself for quite a while, but I don't think I would care for their firewall. Then again, I don't like any personal firewalls and use major firewalls for my whole network.

pc-cillin does do a great job - i never really sued it, then did one day and thought it was great!
