Firewall for Windows Vista

Can anyone recommend a decent free firewall for Vista? I was using Zone Alarm with XP but I have found that it won't play nice with Vista for some reason. Thanks!

You can try comodo firewall.

Zonealarm says it works with Vista on their site.

But for others, the following 3 are all good too.

Online Armor Free
Outpost Firewall Free
PC Tools Firewall Plus

I'm currently using Online Armor.

Thanks for the help! I'll see what I can do. Zone Alarm always worked for me on XP but it was bogging down my system real bad and I was having trouble with e-mails. After I uninstalled it the symptoms vanished. I'm using Windows right now but I'd like something stronger.

I had probs with Vista & ZoneAlarm so moved to Comodo.

I've downloaded Comodo and it seems to be working just fine. I did try Zone Alarm again and it did the same thing. It doesn't want to play nice.

I recommend using Comodo Firewall it is a good firewall product, my favourite was Sygate but they were bought out by Symantec and discontinued, im still bitter about that
