Actually, I don't mind Vista's firewall. Seems to work fine.

If enabled properly. I believe by default, it is similar to xp's "firewall".

 

Nope, just tried the newest home version, not in compat mode either, talking about ZA 6.5 LOL, I was excited to read that but alas, 'tis not so, not yet anyways.

 

The only one that works is the Trend-Micro free trial AFAIK which can be found here. http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/update/windowsvistaRC1FW.mspx

Ack, it's only good 'til the year end.

 

@Halo, I edited my post above while you posted. PC-Cillin only good 'till years end.

 

Cheers for the One Care info, I've been lax in the security area 'til now on Vista as they were all throw away installs. I want to keep this one alive until they rip it from my grasping fingers next June. At least the AV makers are doing something, I think ZA et al are waiting for RTM to push their products.

 

A last one for tonight lol, AVG + Firewall 7.5 30-day trial installation out of the box went great! Now to check it's guts out as I've never used AVG's FW before. http://www.grisoft.com/doc/downloads-results/lng/us/tpl/tpl01?prd=triafw
