With the release of windows 7, many security software such as antivirus, Anti Malware, Firewall, etc seems to start to loose their popularity. At the present moment, I must say, yes Windows 7 has perform very well in the security improvement of their new operating system
I have tested windows 7 for almost 7 months now, it's very stable & secure from outside intruders compare to their previous operating system before. Windows 7 provide their users with the new generation of windows firewall, their most advance & much much better in performance & setting (more experience user will appreciate this)
But still, if you want better protection in the firewall, security company who provide firewall service is still outperform windows 7 firewall
The firewall software from those reputable company who focusing on the development of it's product such as Comodo, Tall Emu/Emisoft (online armor), Agnitum (Outpost Firewall) & Zone Alarm, would be a wise choice to improve your security arsenal.
From my experience & personal test, for personal user/home users, my recommendation will come between two product Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro (Trial) vs Online Armor Firewall (Free)
If you're still using 32 bit operating system, the top choice would goes to Online Armor (Free), while very slightly the Agnitum Outpost Firewall pro would come in second, not only because you have to pay for their product (cause the free version is still hasn't been updated since May 2009), but simply because the latest Online Armor (version 4.0.X) provide better HIPS protection than Agnitum Product. On ther hand, if you're using and older PC it would be better if you use Agnitum products, cause Online Armor is more resource hungry compare to Outpost firewall, you WILL feel slowdowns greatly for quite a while in some case when your browsing or downloading the internet.
Since Online Armor is free, I see no harm except the resource hungry thing to put Online Armor as the top choice, but since Online Armor "Mother Company" Tell Emu has been taken over by Emisoft & seems stop their product development on the 32 Bits Operating System only, choosing Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro (Trial) wouldn't hurt either except their Price.
If your using 64 Bits Operating System, yeah it's suck, the only top choice is the one that would cost you some money, Agnitum Outpost Firewall Pro (Trial), but as long as you use your common sense, the build in Windows 7 firewall is just about enough
