Is Zone Alarm truly compatible with Vista

Well after having the nasty surprise that my (supposedly) compatible security software isn't compatible with Vista, I've beena dvised here to download something like AVG free anti virus.

OK - can do that, but AVG doesn't have a firewall.

Not totally sure I want to just rely on the windows firewall, so is Zone Alarm truly compatible (as they claim)?

cheers

You could try Comodo (properly compatibe with x64), which is free.

Free Firewall Protection Software Best Firewall Computer Security Free Personal Firewall

The paid-for version of AVG (called "AVG Internet Security") does have a firewall. But as I say isn't free, and as far as firewalls go, Comodo is well rated.

Re: Is Zone Alarm truly compatible with Vista

The latest ZASS 7.1/7.3(beta) did support Vista (32bit) but not X64

I used it with VHP X86...

switched to COMODO PRO X64 after upgraded to Vista Ultimate X64...

work pretty smooth so far.........

OK dumb question time - do I download the 32 bit or 64 bit version?

ETA: silly me, it says 32 on the disk
