I have a new computer with Windows Vista Home Ed.
With Windows XP,I used Zone Alarm,but have been unable to use it with Vista. I use System Mechanic-is their firewall as good as ZA?

I'm having some sort of conflict problem between Comodo and my USB webcam (Microsoft Lifecam NX-3000). Whenever I plug the port Vista crashes. Any help ?

Windows Firewall is fine. However, you will need more than just a firewall. Do you have an AV?

Check Device Manager and look for conflicts. I would also update the cam's drivers or if all fails, turn off Comodo temporarily.

I wouldn't bother with 3rd party firewalls, Vista firewall is all you need.

Yes,I have an AV and 2 antispyware
