None were listed in the sticky that I saw on the first page (though maybe somewhere)

Since with GeekU i'm suppose to recommend one, I want to make sure I recommend a good one!

So if anyone has any experience with them and has some helpful reviews I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks! One additional question, If I have a router with a firewall and windows, would you still recommend it? or what combination of firewalls would you recommend?

Never a good ideal to run two internal firewalls like Comodo and Windows.
This will cause more problems then it's worth.

It's a personal preference but from what I have seen Comodo has more options to let programs through the firewall and does come with a AV also.
I don't advise the use of the AV as I suggest Avast or Avira
My preference is to suggest Comodo over Windows
