I use the Microsoft firewall and I understand it only stops stuff coming in,
not going out.
What firewall would people recommend that would be better.
Any good free firewall programs ?

Both Kerio 4.x and zone Alarm 5.5x offer freeware versions that are much
better than the MS version. Kerio 4.x is a bit lighter on system
resources.

Supplement XP's FW with IPSec that can stop inbound or outbound traffic by
port, protocol and IP and it's free.

You can implement a set of base rules with the AnanlogX file. You enable
protocols on the *client* side to allow SMTP, NNTP etc, etc.

Do not *rely* on a firewall's outbound protection, in lieu of behavior
or practices that keeps malware *off* your system in the first place.
