What is a good free firewall compatible with AVG anti virus in Vista?

Question

I have tried Zonealarm, which used to work with Windows XP, through Downloads.com or Majorgeeks. Incompatible with Windows Vista home premium. Thanks to those who answer.

Answer 1

No need of firewall if you have windows vista, turn on windows vista's inbuilt firewall. It will provide good performance and enhanced security.

Hi

I agree. The inbuilt firewall is good enough.

You might consider the Vista Firewall Control, which makes configuring the Vista Firewall easier.
