    Hi,

    I am got my new laptop and it came with Windows Vista Home Premium, I like it.

    I am using Windows Firewall, but I am thinking that it may not be very good. I did try ZoneAlarm only to lead my computer to blue-screening!

    Is there a need for a third-party firewall, or am I safe with Windows Firewall.

    Thanks,

    Nick.

    Your reptty safe with WFW but if you really want enhanced security then i suggest you wait until Comodo pro firewall 3.0 comes out. It'll be your best, and free choice.
