I will need to upgrade my firewall very soon and was wondering what is good,any ideas???
 
your best off with a hardware one such as a netgear. they also replace your modem and give you wifi if you like.

Im not a fan of software firewalls. some tend to add a fair bit of overhead to the pc, and or them ****** anoying popups.

if you must then get zone alarm. its free
 
Try Sygate personal firewall, it works well on my microsoft machine.And its free.
 
Amongst other things, i use a hardware firewall for incoming, and a simpler version of Zone Alarm Pro as an extra layer + to deal with outgoing security.
 
Router + common sense is all you need.
 
windows one is pap use norton/macafee
