Hey guys, i've just put vista onto my desktop and was wondering if there was any 3rd party firewalls availible for it as i really don't trust the built in one, and i dont want to install the one microsoft recommends as that runs out in a week...
any ideas?

Who really needs a firewall? I've found through research and stuff that unless you run P2Ps you shouldnt need to worry, I think the defualt VISTA one should do well, I have never run Firewalls..... too much of a pain, thats what the routers for, but I opened that up 100%.... so hack me.
Cheers, Gunny

You can install Nortin, McAfee, Panda, what have you, but Vista was designed to not allow those programs access to the kernal. Therefore running them will do nothing.
Until MS gets sued, use MS built in or nothing at all.
