    I wonder if anyone can tell me if Zonealarm free firewall has a version out yet that works well in Vista?
    I tried it when I first installed Vista last month and it caused all sorts of crashes.
    I've been using Comodo Firewall,it seems good but it gets annoying with all it's persistent questions about applications.Zonealarm was always my first choice but I don't want to just try it again without getting some feedback first.

    Thanks.

    I've run it limited on Vista only because I don't use the platform much at all. But I never encountered any problems with it during that time.

    And pretty most firewalls will at first annoy you with alerts and I'd rather have more than fewer.

    Once you've been using the machine it ought not spring up many alerts unless new software tries to get out.

    Thanks for the reply.
    When I used Zonealarm it crashed my PC every time I tried to check my e-mail.I discovered it was ZA firewall that was the problem by a process of elimination.
    I will try Comodo for a while longer,it just seems to ask about absolutely everything you do and more than once sometimes even though I have the 'remember my reply' box ticked.
    Thanks again.:)
