3Hi Mark,
A friend of mine made a review on Shivaranjan.com - Pc Tools Firewall Plus - and apparently he likes.
I haven’t tried it myself because i am still on XP, but please visit the link above.
There’s a nice description about it, and lots of screenshots.
If you do install it, please let me know your opinion about it.
For the rest, i am still looking for Vista freeware. It can take a little while to update the rest of the list….

5Dear Carol
Get this one.
I installed PCTools Firewal plus but it had a virus according to Avast Anti Virus called Win32:VB-FP but since it has a Restore Point I was able set things right almost there is still something asking me to go into Administrative Mode to install a license or something but I’ll get that figured and fix that too. Anyway I’m sure it’s not Your fault as April 26 is supposed to be Bad Virus Day and I’m going to do a fresh install now that I know how things go and when New Java is updated to run in Vista and have a clean better organized Java Media Platform. By the by I sent the Win32: VB-FP to Avast for Analysis. I asked them to let me know if it is a real threat.
Take it Easy
Carol
Have a Nice One

6Hi Carol
I’ve decided to stick with Vista’s Firewall and with that and My Hardware Firewall Router My Computer is Invisible on the Net.
It appears that Vista’s Firewall is pretty good.
I have another that I paid for and I’ll install it too if in works in conjunction with Vista’s that way I’ll have three Firewalls with anti-spyware too.
Take it easy
Have a Fun Day
Mark

8Mark, it’s possible that you had a false alarm from Vista Firewall.
PCTools isn’t from yesterday on the market and i don’t see a reason why they would release a virus…
Anyway, there are lots of other paid security software that you can use.
BullGuard has a security suite specially released for Vista.

28Oh! I am sorry Tony. I thought i should make your name look more Italian.:P
Thanks again, Tony.
People seem to appreciate the effort and that’s a nice payback.
I can say the same thing about you.
BTW, you are giving me a good traffic.
Hope my Vault returns the favor.

29Can I please put a plea in for removing shareware from this freeware list.
It is not free, you have to pay for it.
Easy enough to determine the difference the website has $ ammount on it!

31If you download the “Mega Sound Recorder” onto your Vista machine you will receive a virus - some spyware and a broken sound system. Thnx - John

32Vista came installed with my new laptop and have tried to live with it. Your page helps , thanks. My concern is that I can’t get any video to play on any player just the sound. Do you have any solutions or have you heard of similar.

33Hi Rob and apologies for the late answer.
I think you are missing some codecs.
You might want to install K Lite Codec Pack. That will fix your problem.
