| Try PC Tools Firewall plus. It's by the folks from Spyware Doctor. AND IT DOES WORK in Vista. I know this for a fact,as I AM using it on my copy of Vista Home Premium. Don't let anyone tell you it won't work,- I Guarantee they are wrong. I am running Vista, PS Tools Firewall Plus is working fine, and It is far better than Microsofts anemic built in F/W. P.S.- Make sure you get version 2.0 (the earlier version won't run in Vista) P.S.S. - Another nice feature. PC Tools FW automatically disables Windows FW in case you forget to.

| | I have a hardware firewall built into my wireless router and I use vista's built in firewall as another level of protection, this approach has very little effect on system resources. In my experience, even in the early days of XP the the windows firewall has been more than adequate along as you run it alongside a decent Antivirus/AntiMalware package. The thing is it may not be the best firewall in the world but it is perfectly capable of preventing inbound attacks just like a routers firewall is. Outbound is where both windows and hardware firewalls alike stumble, but the only outbound risks are those associated with malware, that have installed on your machine which is where the AV comes in, as it will find any malware and remove it. eliminating any risk altogether. You will also find this approach puts any nagging down to an absolute minimum.
If you ask me a question and I dont know the answer, I'm gonna tell you that I don't know! But I know how to find the answer and I will find the answer! -: Will Smith - The Pusuit of Happiness. |

| Running CFP3 beta on Vista premium and i think this is going to be a winner although it still has a few bugs to be sorted out it's showing great promise and available for 32bit and 64bit with some really nice added bonuses like defense +  running windows firewall on Vista Ultimate until the final release of CFP3
Vista Ultimate 32bit
Dimension 9200
Q6600 quad core 2.4Ghz

Kaspersky crashed my system twice, so i'm looking for a different one....
I use Kaspersky with my Vista Ultimate and I could say its the best. If you want free stuff, then lookout for AntiVir2007 which is really good

| You all should try NOD32 anti-virus, in which I've had no complaints been running it for 6mths after my free Norton ended.
