ok so i got my new laptop which has a 64bit vista os installed and its all very shiny and nice but here is the problem. there seems to be no firewalls that work with 64 bit vista! zone alarm (my usual) doesnt go with it so does anyone have any suggestions?

use the firewall that comes with it. make sure you have it set to allow exceptions.

as long as you aren't dealing with icebreakers, closed ports are all that matters IMO. just surf smart.

then again, I don't use vista; so don't ask me.
