    I used to use Zonealarm on XP but have just been using the standard firewall on Vista 64bit. I was looking to download a firewall last year for Vista64 and no company apart from Norton seemed to have one.
    Theres plenty of firewalls out there now for 64bit users, found a great wikipedia link for info and comparisons of firewalls see here
    I would still prefer a reccommendation from a boards.ie user tho, even if its a reccomendation to stick with Vistas firewall, is it good enough?

    I like NOD32, uses almost no memory when doing a full scan or running in the background.

    These guys are good too apparently, but I've never used them:

    ESET got a poor review here, even though as its rated as 'good'.
    At €55 for just one year, I'd expect something which ticks all the boxes.

    Kaspersky internet security 2009 is spoken highly of and going for £20 (which is pretty much €20 these days) for a years subscription so I think I'll go for that unless anyone has any better suggestions........

    Same website gives Norton 4.5 stars out of 5. That pretty much makes all their reviews invalid.

    HaHa, I hate Norton aswell but their 2009 is getting decent reviews, below is a link to what I consider a reputable review site (well maybe they won't be reputable to you anymore) Theres loads of good reviews out there for it
