Hi,

I've been looking for a good, effective and easy to use free vista firewall, anybody has any advices ?
(I'm sorry if this has already been discussed or if I'm in the wrong section, but I seem to have a very limited use of the search option and couldn't find anything relevant after an extensive search on the site, please gently move this thread to the appropriate location or direct me to a similar subject if it is the case.)
To get back to the main subject, I use to have Zone Alarm working beautifully on XP, so tried it first on Vista, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work as good and the vista version seems quite unrecommended and unstable at this time.
The window vista firewall is quite praised I saw, but it doesn't give me enough control over it and I'm not really inclined to spend so much time setting a firewall's preset.
I just found out about vista firewall control, which I downloaded and I will give it a shot.
But if anyone knows a free, easy to use, light on resources and controllable firewall (which is how I found Zone Alarm) for vista, please let me share your experiences

Thanks
