My opinion is that the Vista Mail group is an odd place to ask such a question when there is a group dedicated to Vista Security. Having said that... I, home user, haven't seen any good reason to use anything but Vistas own. |

| | Re: Which Firewall is best for Vista? I'm using Norton 360 without problem. However to avoid Norton running scans, backups, updates, etc., which sucks up CPU when I don't want it to, I've disabled the automatic schedules and do all of that manually. Additionally, a review I read in PC World reported that Norton used fewer resources than McAfee and others. Could be mistaken here, but seem to remember reading Zone Alarm had some issues with Vista. Possibly fixed by now.
