Finally, for all of us who are running the 32-Bit version of Windows Vista – there is a free firewall application for us. Granted, the built in Windows Vista firewall is pretty good. It’s better than XP’s and does a good job of providing basic security, however a more robust program is needed for the firewall I think.
PCTools has just the thing. It’s late and I’m tired so here’s the link, I’ll update this post maybe when I get the time and strength.

Another option is Comodo Personal Firewall:

ZoneAlarm Free:

And of course, I recommend these two Anti-Virus solutions for Windows and Windows Vista:

This firewall is very problematic.
Greg, you’re right I had some issues with it and it is not easily configured so I’ve switched to McAfee Personal Firewall which also works with Vista but is not free.
Stay tuned for Zone Alarm thought! It will be free and Vista compatible very soon.
