I've searched through the past posts here and in the other vista
groups, and have yet to see an 'answer'... I'm looking for a Vista
compatible firewall. Everyone I've tried (Zone alarm, Kerio, a few
others) say they're not compatible. Tiny installed, but I kept blue
screening on reboot with a error once - that says my BIOS is not PC##
something capable? (It rebooted too quick to see). Rebooted into last
known good, uninstalled Tiny, and I'm back in business. Basically, I
want to know when a program is phoning home and be able to deny the
request.

Thanks.

Andre posted this a while back, it appears to have a built in
firewall.

You can use the Windows Advanced firewall but it does not look like
its very user friendly

A pop-up when a program want to phone home, like in free firewalls that's
compatible with XP. That's what i want. Not go in and manually edit in the
built in firewall. If I accidently get a program in my computer it's not to
supposed to get access to internet without my permisson.
 
Mcafee's Firewall works like you want.

Kaspersky Internet Security 6.0.2.xxx is in Beta (public) and is Vista
compatible.

And by the way :
Vista does a lot of homephoning general.
But where it comes up to security :
Vista phones home to 64.4.52.189 which is the Microsoft IP adress to do the
"genuine" checks. - blocking it inbound/outbound has no side-effects but may
save you from accidently be presented by "this copy of Windows is not
genuine" nags whenever MS feels to do so.
