    What is the best free & easy to use firewall that will work in vista x64?

    Is the one that is included in windows vista sufficient? If not if someone could please explain why that would be great.

    It sounds like avast is better then AVG for antivirus so I'm going to run that one. I'd prefer a firewall that is small and light weight, and doesn't give me issues if I decide to uninstall it if I go with one other then windows.

    I'd stick with the plain ol windows firewall, it has yet to let me down so far.
