Vista ultimate 64-bit firewall, and AV

Hey guys. I'm looking for a FW and a good AV. I was using AVG 9 free edition, but I unistalled before runining my scans this month and I am can't seem to get it loaded again. I tried the newer AVG 11 but it i saying my windows isn't supported. VISTA ULTIMATE 64-bit. I tried running as admin and everything. Should I try turrning off SAS and windows defender??? Also I need a FW, tried 3 different ones for the malware sticky on protection. Comodo, Sypgate, and one other... and none of them would install. Any help would be great. Vista Ultimate 64

 

I've tried Jetico, Sygate, outpost firewall free, comodo, and filesclab. all of them are sayin unsupprorted OS

 

Hi,
Alot of users on here give Avast a good rating as a free antivirus and also zonealarm for a firewall both are free and available from here...

I always forget to mention MSE !! :-o !! it is, as David (forum Ninjah :-D) says, an excellent little tool, I also have it on my Duaghters Laptop along with MBAM (free), and I have not had to do any infection removals on that machine .

Comodo Internet Security (AV and firewall) works great, it's what I've been using for years (and it supports 64 bit Windows Vista and Windows 7). Just be sure to choose the 64 bit download. I personally don't install the GeekBuddy portion, and disable the Sandbox feature.


It's the last download on this page: http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/free-download.html

 

Thanks to everyone that replied. I finally got the right Comodo installed, it wasn't installing right because The file I downloaded was corrupt or something. I deleted, dLed again and it's great not, as for the AV I finally got AVG back installed, even got an upgrade to AVG 10.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you got your PC security settled!

 

mbam detecting Comodo as Malware??

I'm using Comodo as a FW, and after I got it installed, I ran Mbam last night and it is detecting Comodo as malware. Is this a false report? I DL'ed Comodo from this site and I did not install any toolbar option or anything.

 

Re: mbam detecting Comodo as Malware??

This will be a False possitive, you just need to put it into Mbam's safe/ignore list, ALL downloads from MG's are SAFE and tested regulary.

Just as a side not to those who have read this thread, Comodo is working and it does have some spiffy features, I am almost certain though it added about 8-12 seconds to my startup time though, Maybe 6 sec. :cry :cry
