Program Control Firewall for Vista...??

[Adams_16v]

Running Vista Ultimate at the mo, all seems good!

But I like full control over what apps have access to the net. Can anyone recommend a decent firewall that will ask me what apps do and dont get access to the net as and when they attempt it?

Not zonealarm tho, I have always used that, but an older (and better) version. I dont want any newer versions really!

cheers!

Zone Alarm no question.

I thought Vista was good secure enough to do this on its own?

Its as secure as an up to date XP machine.

if you get into the 'Windows Firewall with Advanced Security' on vista then it is very good, but it is a long and boring task to get it setup and working for every app!

zonealarm is good but it went downhill about 4 versions ago, and the latest one isnt vista compatible as of yet!

after reading reviews for the past 2 hour im giving the outpost a run later when im not on rdc lol!

from what iv read its very good!
