    Windows Firewall. Not very advanced but still gets the job done.

    keep it with vista firewall for now. ZoneAlarm is moving forward, but it has a way yet to be fully integrated/compatible with vista - use it should u care, but i personally count it as beta app

    this is not to bastardise ZA, i totally use it under xp

    cheers ...

    Agreed regarding ZoneAlarm. For XP it is very powerful; however, it is simply not there yet on Vista.

    Scroll down to the Windows 2000/XP Users Also Get section on this page to see the functions present in the XP version of ZoneAlarm that are functions that are missing in the Vista version.
