The latest version produced of Sygate does not run on Windows Vista. A close runner-up for Windows XP is Outpost Firewall, and it runs on Vista too.

The version I use was free from CNet some years ago and I have been using the free version since. Its a nice, easy to use app that tattles on everything that goes on. I would like to disable the Vista firewall and install this Sygate Personal Firewall in its place. Has anyone ever used this on Vista? Any ideas if this would work...Im still on XP...just wondering, cus not having my handy firewall would probably prevent me from making the jump. Thankies! 8^) Hey so yeah…I was wondering…does anyone out there use Sygate Personal Firewall? The version I use was free from CNet some years ago and I have been using the free version since.

Otherwise, in my case, all incoming traffic was blocked. In specific, if my case was representative, if you try this via remote desktop, you will be locked out (and can't perform my step 6, unless you use the command line "reboot -r -t XX" with a long enough delay). Sample case: wanted to remote install virus software (AVG) on a client machine from server. Remote desktop in as administrative user to client, then temp disable firewall service so virus software install can happen.... bang, locked out. Had to walk to machine and log in and reboot, then firewall stayed off, and I could connect back in (and install AVG), then reactivate firewall (as desired). As for the tangential debate, why don't you people move to a debate forum where it belongs instead of somewhere people might be going for real answers to get things done instead of just passing time because they have nothing better to do with their lives.

Bugs aside it would have be nice if Microsoft waited a couple more months before RTM so they could have minted more drivers onto the gold DVD.  Oh well.... we can always hope for Vista R2.
