530508 2007-03-05 23:01:00 Anyone know if theres a good free firewall available for Vista yet? lazydog (148)
530509 2007-03-05 23:52:00 Not that I know of, The Mcsucfee Security suite which DELL ship with Vista actually crippled the speed of the broadband connection a friend had, so after uninstalling performed as expected.
Now using AVG, Windows new 2 way Firewall and Defender.

530514 2007-03-06 03:51:00 Altho Comodo (forums.comodo.com) firewall doesn't support x64 or Vista.

There maybe a beta in April, or sometime this year. And v3.xx will support both.

Actually there is a vista compat firewall out but its in beta - Jetico.

Never tried it but i've read that it's not that good. Has some stability issues so the story went.
Anyone have any personal experience with it?

530516 2007-03-06 08:17:00 I've never tried Jetico the release or any beta.

Altho I wouldnt use the beta of anything, it'll be too buggy.

It would seem that that is not the only issue with Vista
