You could use the built-in firewall in Vista.

I could but I would rather not. I trust a 3rd party app first.
Thanks

This ZoneAlarm only works with Vista. Does not list it as being in Beta.
This is ZoneAlarm's Beta Center. Check this one ( ZoneAlarm 7.1.218.000 (Vista) ) against the other to confirm.

Somebody's already posted, but I only recommend Comodo Firewall (firewall.comodo.com). It's the best firewall behind Outpost, and it's legally free. Comodo offers free updates for life. I recommend the firewall, but all their other free products are a little immature for mainstream use.
Most people I've recommended Comodo to are surprised with it. I use version 2.4 because I had issues with v3. You can't go past Comodo. Various independent tests have reported it's one of the best 3 firewalls and one of few that passes leak tests which is important these days because of spyware and greyware. Comodo can control all of that so information you enter doesn't leak into the net.

I have been a shields up visitor for a long time now.
But just to close off my topic, I downloaded the Comodo firewall, they have 2 versions, 32 bit and 64 bit both for xp and vista.
I love the Paranoid mode setting it has, I am now using Comodo as my standard.
Thanks for the great info.
