Firewall for Windows Vista

Does anyone know about some firewall program compatible with Vista. The one Iuse Zone Alarm still don't have a Vista compatible version and the windows one even with outbond protection added looks pretty useless don't alert about nothing

I looked at google and only found crap

Any recomendations welcome except norton internet security and Mcafee

thanks

Wasnt BitDefender once called BlackIce that used to go mental at the slightest of things.


At least it isnt Lockdown2000, that used to go Siren mad WHoooooooooooooooo Whoooooooooooooooooooooo, and you couldnt turn the blasted thing off which was a shame as it was a rock hard firewall.

Lockdown2000 was a scam, did nothing at all to act like a firewall would.

More than enough revelations on that scam software can be found doing a google search.

For starters -

"Rock hard firewall"? I think not.

When Lockdown2000 was first introduced it was a tight firewall, it was sold to a rival company who you are reading about in those articles.

Again when it was first released it was very very tight. Too tight for its own good infact.

Well you still have it wrong.

If you still claim it was a firewall when originally released I suggest you read it's true history
