Working Firewall
Anyone found a working firewall for Vista yet?
I realize the built in has outbound protection, but once turned on is 100% rules based. A hastle to get working right and no warnings when something tries to call out.
I like Vista and all and would like to continue to run it, but no way until I can find a firewall I have a little more control over.
Thanks

It does seem to do what it claims.
I like to run seperate FW...AV...Spyware programs. Hate the suites so have to find/hunt things that work.
Any one else interested here's link

It works well, but is pricey. I think it's limited to 3 pc's. I've got 4 or 5 I play around with at home and that makes it too expensive.

Have you checked out the free copy to see if it does what needed?

Yep. TrendMicro PC-cillin 15.3 works great with Vista. This is an av scanner with firewall and antispam. Nice piece of software.
Limited to 3 installations per purchase, but cheaper than MS and is more transparent, easily configurable the way you like it.

Seems that One Care has problems. See the above link.
Trend Micro Pc-cillin Internet Security 15.3 works with Vista. Not bad software program according to my trial installation.

Even if you don't like suites,I think that Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0 is worth a try on Vista..... |
