    What is the best firewall for vista? Free would be nice, but overall the best. My laptop came with Norton pre installed for 90 days but I am thinking about switching to avast because it does not clog up your computer as much. Does anyone agree with this?

    You may be confusing antivirus with firewall.

    FWIW, I currently run Vista Home Premium and use avast! free for antivirus, PC Tools Firewall Plus for firewall, and PC Tools Spyware Doctor for antispyware and I disabled the Windows firewall.
