1) Kerio Firewall was working great on my PC for a while. Recently,
I think it got updated (probably latest version).

Now - opening any windows takes forever or just hangs. When I check
task manager - kpfss.exe is using up 99% of my cpu time. If I kill
the process - the computer behaves fine.

There is also, no longer a Kerio Firewall icon in my systray.

I am sick of Kerio and want to get rid of it if this cannot be fixed.

Anyone have this issue?

2) Is there a free open source firewall? Or does anyone have an
recommendations for a better firewall.

$59.99 for Kerio is NOT worth it....

help..

Hi, have a look at Comodo Personal Firewall at
http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ - I have been running it for a
couple of weeks now, and like it. Have also used ZoneAlarm and Kerio in
the past.

Also, I have Kerio installed on a PC, and the configuration windows always
freezes when there is network traffic.

I heard about Jetico, is it a better firewall?
