Is there a (good)firewall working with Vista?

Black_Star · Apr 18, 2007

Hi
I was using Microsoft XP and had chosen Zone alarm pro as my firewall.Everything was fine till the day i installed Vista-quite immaturely i admit cause i didn't really checked if everything i used in XP was working in Vista also- so Zone Alarm didn't have a vista update ready and now i use Vista but with microsoft's firewall which i don't really trust.Is there any other firewall(good one) working with vista?

I haven't found a stand alone firewall that works good. I've tried a couple but none of them were up to snuff

This one works ok in Vista Vista Firewall Control until ZoneAlarm gte their act together with their beta, and Comodo release their Vista compatible firewall.

Funny enough, Microsofts OneCare firewall is pretty good and passed all the tests I ran with it, its paid and its antivrius is sadly not upto scratch yet, so I wouldnt advise it yet.

Very true indeed, their was no excuse from many of these companies to not have fully working products ready at launchtime of Vista, just seems firewalls were forgotten!
