I'd kill the Vista firewall and use ZA.
Not strictly true, the Vista firewall can block outgoing traffic as well. However by default it doesn't :rolleyes: and is a bit of a pig to configure. Zone Alarm is compatible with Vista so i would suggest using that instead as it is far easier to use. It will turn off windows firewall when you install it and you should only use one firewall on your PC. To be more secure use a router with a hardware firewall as well.It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends
And feel I want to die0
