Zonealarm Firewall FREE we rate this software - 9/10
Zonelabs offer a great firewall, until proven otherwise we believe it to be the best firewall available for FREE. You will need to navigate around the site to find the free download, and installation requires restarting your machine. There are quite a few set-up pages to read, however you can skip to the end if you choose not to read all about it (reading all about it is recommended, after all, you are here because you probably didn't read enough already). They also have more advanced firewalls available with extra features, however these are not free, but worth every penny.

Sygate Personal Firewall FREE we rate this software - untested by us
Sygate offer a free firewall for personal use, apparently Sygate Personal Firewall is the first FREE personal firewall to offer protection from malicious code intrusions, keeping the information on your PC safe and private (whatever that means). In our experience this is a good free firewall, but was a bit trickier to understand how to set up your programs with it. Also available are pay products you may want to try.

Personal firewall protection

GRC- Firewall Test FREE we rate this software - 9/10
In GRC's own words...
LeakTest is a safe and small (27k bytes), completely benign "chameleon utility" which can be used to simulate the presence and effect of Trojan horses, viruses, and adware/spyware running in your computer. It simply and quickly tells you whether it has been able to slip out past your firewalls outbound Trojan/Virus/Spyware protections and establish a standard TCP connection with our NanoProbe server.
In our words...
Basically this little program will test the effectiveness of your firewall for you :-)

Test your firewall protection

There are NO other free Firewall products that we can confidently recommend at this time.
