Here's a link to some of the latest downloads of Snort - the bottom one in the list is for Win32 systems:

http://www.snort.org/dl/binaries/1.9.0/

There's also an excellent GUI for the Windows version of Snort, called IDSCenter - you can find it here:

I've heard very good things about SNORT, and it's hard to beat free, but
I
haven't used it yet myself.  It runs on both win and lin systems so
compatibility shouldn't be the deciding factor.
