just wondering if u guys had suggestions for a decent free firewall for Vista -
i used to use sygate for XP - but its not an option anymore they were purchased by symantec = $

i tried downloading zonealarm - CRASHHHHH [:@]
and after reading on different forums - the zonealarm isnt quite vista ready yet unless u do all types of tweaks etc.


right now im just running the vista firewall (and the wireless router)
not sure i really need a 2 way firewall? since the router is there.

any thoughts..?

 

Get a little dude to stand by your internet with a shotgun. That's what I use!

 

stand by my internet?
wheres that? next to my interwebs?




i'll see if this guys around:

 

One of the best free-ware out there in my opinion would be the Avira AntiVir.

I'm not sure if this will work for Vista as I have this for my XP. My Vista came with Norton and that's what I am using.

 

im using AVG - for antivirus - used it fo years now & i like it..

just need a standalone firewall..[&:] anything else out there ??

 

I use AVG as well - I bought it and it comes with a complete security suite that includes a friewall - no crashes as of yet

 

[&:] pali - u baought the AVG suite then... im just using the antivirus stuff...



any thoughts on a free standalone firewall for Vista??

 

Check ZoneLabs ZoneAlarm. I'm running the paid-for version, but I believe their free version is Vista compatible. I could be wrong, though. I haven't Vista'd, yet, so it's not an issue, for me... YET!
