Good free Firewall for x64

Comodo firewall has a new version 3 out that is supposed to be Vista compatible. I tested the 32 and 64bit versions on XPpro 32bit and Vista HP32bit and Ultimate 32 and 64 bit.

Four different systems running high end hardware on all. None had less then a gig of ram and none had more then 2 gigs.

Comodo crashed all the systems regardless of what I tried.

I know a lot of people run Comodo without any problems whatsoever. But if you install it and problems start right away(as they did with me). Dump it fast!!

Hey guys,

I know its a few months later but i've had the same probs with Comodo firewall. After its installed and machine is rebooted i get the usual adding of programs to net access but then the machine starts getting sluggish and then it blue screens with a memory dump.

Is there an alternative i can try?

I have no faith in the inbuilt firewall.

Do yourselves a favour and don't comprimise on the security of your system and invest a few bucks in ESET's Smart Security suite!

I can guarantee you won't be disappointed and no I don't get paid for this advertisement!!!

Kind regards

Comodo works here without probs TommyK. I've been using it for 4~5 Months now.
Anyway as it doesnt work for you try Esset as others said or try KIS.

I just wanted to quickly add my thumbs up for Komodo.

Zonealarm (free) seriously messed up my LAN connections so I would urge people to avoid that. Even when I added my LAN's ip address range to the trusted network in ZA, it gave me serious problems.

I find the inbuilt Windows Firewall plus my router firewall more than adequate & have had no intrusions.
