Hey,

I have always used ZoneAlarm and Avast on my laptop and on my desktop I use Kapersky all in one (fantastic program) but I am looking at setting up a firewall on a laptop for someone who would not be that computer saavy. I want to be able to install a firewall that will not require too much interaction from them. ZoneAlarm is great once setup but I dont want them ringing me everyday saying something keeps popping up!!

Any suggestions as to what would be the best ?

Thanks

I would recommend Comodo personal firewall. Doesn't use to much resources and easy to set up.
Also don't get pop-ups or nag screens from it.
