Is there a free firewall that does everything around? I have McAfee that seems to do it all but it's free for 30 days as it came with my new laptop.

I now have to start looking for another one soon :rolleyes:

    I use Sunbelt Personal Firewall.

    It looks like a demo version, but just don't buy the full version and it will carry on functioning, just without the bits in the full version. I like it better than Zone Alarm.

    You can have a go with Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite for Vista to see how you get on.

    Check your PMs for installation instructions.

    Yes I have a firewall connected to the rooter, but that didn't stop the last attack. As for Windows, I don't trust their firewall :rolleyes:
