Firewalls for Vista

Hi all, I'm new here so here it goes....

I've been reading through a few threads of the same/similar nature but just wondering which 3rd party Firewalls you use?

I'm currently just using the built in Vista firewall. On my old XP machine I used Zonealarm which worked great but found that when I use it on my new Laptop I get the blue screen of death! Any thoughts welcome!

 

Here's a link to our favorite (free) firewalls. http://www.majorgeeks.com/page.php?id=20 Scroll down until you see them, check if they're compatible with Vista and check the ratings of MG also.

Another favorite one is Online Armor: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Online_Armor_Free_d4872.html

Here are the ratings from Matousec: http://www.matousec.com/projects/firewall-challenge/results.php

I use Online Armor but it's also compatible with 32 bit Vista.

 

don't know whether you have sampled the advanced settings in the vista firewall, but here's a few links
