Thanks

588810 2007-09-07 05:31:00 Zonealarm free now works good in Vista, download page Here (www.zonealarm.com) on right of page, select "Free Download" Button. Then down the bottom of the next page select the "only want basic ----- it will down load a small installer, which when you run it will select your OS - XP or Vista, select download and install.

The Vista firewall, while it works ( kind of) it still has faults and can cause problems.
