| Any free firewalls for Vista? I know there isn't much choice out there for firewalls that work with Vista but I was wondering if anyone came across any decent free firewalls apart from ZoneAlarm beta and PC Tools Firewall. Any suggestions? Many Thanks, Wiggles

| AVAST offers FREE and it is very good. I use today in all my systems.

| Comodo firewall has a vista compatible version, Comodo is regarded as one of the best. I believe it's still in beta the vista versions x86 and 64 bit so you have to register to the forum and download it. Comodo home page: personalfirewall.comodo.com Forum: forums.comodo.com/index.php |

| I have been using the Zone alarm you talk about and had no problems yet. It is stable and works well. |

| This link will take you to a list of over a thousand free firewall software. You can scan through the list and see if there's any worth trying: http://www.all-internet-security.com/firewall/ Windows Live OneCare provides an excellent firewall application. Those who received the email can download the Beta and use it for free for one year. |

| The free version of ZA is working great for me also with a Vista Business version and I can't wait for the Pro version to get fixed up so i is consumer ready.

| Airman, maybe I did ask, but just in case: Are there any advantages in using Zone Alarm instead of Vista's built-in firewall application? I had not really tried any other firewall, other than Vista's and LiveOne Care. I did try a beta of TrendMicro, but that was at the end of last year. Can't remember if it offered any improvements over the ones I've used. |
