    I am running an Internet Security program called Vipre.. So far no problems with it, but I am curious as to which Firewall is best, Windows or Vipre's?

    I have used the one built into Windows for years. No problems. I also have a router which is like having a hardware firewall.

    I would say what ever you are comfortable with.

    I have run Vipre Internet Security and it's predecessors for a good 15 years on 3 computers with no problems at all, also via a router. I have full confidence in it.

    PeteC, do you use Vipre's firewall though?

    Yes - it's part of the security suite.
