Always on the lookout for alternative applications, I could not resist the Free part, and bit the bullet by uninstalling ZoneAlarm as my software firewall, and downloaded the 3.76Mb, then installed Ashampoo Free firewall instead.

After installation you're presented with the configuration screen below:

Because I'm not particularly proficient with online networking I chose the easy option so I would get help from any wizard.

In case you were wondering, I REALLY like programs that you don't need to buy, and then to put more funds in a year later.
If you already have a firewall running make sure that you uninstall it before setting up another.

I feel clean now!

Having installed a freeware Ashampoo product, I've now installed a payware one: Ashampoo Photo Commander.
