Need Firewall with Intrusion detection system

Hey guys i need firewall with IDS (Intrusion detection system)
Dont want opinions as try comodo,zonealarm etc etc
I DONT NEED SIMPLE FIREWALL
This depends on a number of factors:

- What Operating System is the firewall needed for?
- What is the firewall for exactly? (This matters a lot, software firewalls can only protect you from so much).
- What is your skill level related to firewalls?
- Is this a local or remote machine to yourself?
Still need more info,its for Windows ofc
Check out this link, maybe it'll help you:

I know you want a software firewall though the features which you are asking for are mainly only included with Hardware firewalls.
If you have a spare PC lying around the house with 2 Nic's you can setup Endian Firewall or ClearOS.
Both these Hardware firewalls have IDS plus a ton more features. These firewalls are business grade though you can run them in a home environment which i am doing myself.

Cheers
You can build your own: Snort or Astaro Security Gateway (Offers a free home version)

I agree. Comodo Firewall is quite good.
Just run a Firewall software with Snort configured. Snort is your IDS.
