Firewall for Bill"s Vista

What is a good freeware firewall for Bill's Vista? I am running Vista
Home Premium. I had good experience with Comodo on WinXP Pro SP2 but
it is not yet compatible with Vista.

Any recommendations!

Thanx/NSP

Vista's Firewall is more than enough.

You are not going to find anything better than the Vista FW and Vista in
itself due to the advanced features the FW and Vista are using.

"If you try to block outbound connections from a computer that’s already
compromised, how can you be sure that the computer is really doing what you
ask? The answer: you can’t. Outbound protection is security theater—it’s a
gimmick that only gives the impression of improving your security without
doing anything that actually does improve your security. This is why
outbound protection didn’t exist in the Windows XP firewall and why it
doesn’t exist in the Windows Vista™ firewall."

Read, comprehend and implement.

Good luck :)

Maybe you want to explain, why this should be false.

You are wrong. Vista's FW/packet filter is one of the best, with a lot of
nice features.
