free firewall that does work with vista

What is the best freeware firewall that does work with vista and also does block the internet when you tell it to.rolleyes
I recently got my free express upgrade from hp (the maker of my new computer) and i found out it's firewall don't block worth squat so i went back to xp until i can find a firewall that does block.

 

Re: vista

I'm using Vista Firewall Control. It is to set up and has in/out control and is easily configurable. As Halo said Jetico and Comodo are not ready, especially Jetico which so screwed my friend's install, he had to reinstall Vista from scratch. I'm also waiting for ZA as that is and hopefully will be the best FW.

 

I just want a free firewall that will block all incoming and outgoing internet traffic in vista when i tell it to block.

 

:major

I do apresheate your suggestions i did download vista firewall control and i'll use that until something better comes along.

 

Windows 7/vista as mentioned above works very well. Tried SEVERAL others over the last few days, either had a lock up, crash or no effect other than to freeze my internet connection, tried this and all is well FINALLY.

:-D

 

Comodo Firewall: http://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/firewall.php
Scroll down to the bottom, it clearly states that it is compatible with WinXP and Vista.

Online Armor: http://www.tallemu.com/free-firewall-protection-software.html
Also states that it is Vista compatible.

The description for Zone Alarm here at Major Geeks says it's Vista compatible, but I couldn't find any info about the free version at the developer's home page.

All three of these firewalls are available right here at Major Geeks in the Firewalls section: http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?id=34
