    Default 64 bit Compatible Firewall

    So....does anyone here know of a good free firewall that is compatible with Vista 64 bit?

    I know Comodo is good, but I have had several very nasty encounters with it because it is really hard to uninstall. I use Zonealarm on my computer, but, unless I am mistaken, it only works with 32 bit OSes.

    Unfortunately no, using the Vista thing at the moment because I do not know of any good alternatives either, computer is fine anyway though.

    My recommendation would be to just drop a few dollars and get one of these. I don't really care for software firewalls.

    I've got an even better one, but not sure the firewall in it is actually active, works like a charm otherwise though and my Pcs seem rather secure so far, at least Sophos didn't find anything yet.

    I actually would, but for perhaps the next 4 years or so at least, I won't be using my own router and such so I would have to rely on software firewalls
