Last month, my motherboard died, and Vista Home Premium was on the Acer I bought. Geek Squad installed Webroot, which was fine with me because I had had it on XP. I use Trend Micro antivirus. I had heard about Zone Alarm and SpySweeper not playing well on Vista. Tried it, and what I heard was right; Windows blue screen.

However, I am not happy with Windows Firewall and Defender and scripts - Firefox founders often because of a looping script. With ZA I could vet the scripts, so I'd like to go back to ZA.

Would also like to keep Spysweeper though; I guess if one of the two has to go it would be SS, at least for a while. I have a problem with Vista going bananas, where different programs pop up and/or disappear, the windows rearrange themselves on the desktop, etc., don't know if that's related or not.

So, your opinion please, should I stay with what I have, which is SpySweeper, Windows firewall and Windows Defender? Are there versions of ZA and SpySweeper and Trend that play well together? Never had a problem with Trend Antivirus.

Thanks

I use Comodo free firewall on Vista, and XP, and it works well: http://www.personalf...all.comodo.com/

I finally figured out what was making my computer so jumpy; it was the old mouse. Added some memory too, which has helped immensely.

I think I tried Comodo's firewall once, will have to look at it again.
