I need a firewall that will block popups, prevent viruses and be able to work with my p2p programs easily....by that I mean...not be a major headache to install, setup or actually use. I need one that works well and provides decent protection.

I use emule, Piolet, Newsgroups, Limewire pro

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have win xp pro for my OS

Forget firewalls when it comes to P2P. Most P2P software overrides the firewall settings and forces incoming data to be allowed on its primary port. The minute you say "Download", no firewall in the world will protect you if it's harmful, that's the antivirus's job.
