Need another Vista x64 Firewall.

Vlad Drac · 22 Nov 2008 at 16:48

Can anybody recommend me another firewall that runs on Vista x64.
I have been using Comodo but they seem to have fazed out the standalone firewall in favor of a full internet security package which I don't really want when I'm using Kaspersky AV.
Any other good Firewalls out there??

What is up with using the inbuilt firewall if you don't mind me asking?

Can't you use Kaspersky's Firewall?

I'm using it on Vista 64, and it works perfectly.

I dont think there is a stand alone firewall. Dont you have to get the full Kaspersky internet Security pack to get there firewall.
I only have KAV.

Ah, yes, you're right.

How long have you got left on your current licence?
If there's not long left (and you like KAV), I'd recommend you get the full KIS when you renew.

I've still about 9 months left on the KAV.
Any ideas when there will be a Zone Alarm for Vista x64?

Agnitum Outpost Pro 2009 Firewall is good. I've used them since v4.

Well I'm running a strange combo on Vista x64...

I bought the full Kaspersky Internet suite but only use the AV and I am using the full Internet security package by Comodo, as there is an option to only install the FW.!

So you can enjoy using Kaspersky AV along with the latest Comodo Internet security, as long as you only install the FW aspect of the Comodo bundle.

I installed the Kaspersky suite first, otherwise it moans about Comodo, and did all of the updates. Then I installed the Comodo FW and all has been well.

I just disabled the AV and AV updater bit in comodo, if you've already got it all installed

built in doesnt give a pop-up to block outgoing traffic does it?

Ratbag · 22 Nov 2008 at 19:06

Correct. No outbound filtering in windows firewall.

Any more suggestions for a Vista x64 firewall???

Just to note, The Comodo Firewall is not phased out. It just comes as part of the internet security package which does have a option during the install of installing only the firewall, or installing the firewall and AV.
