Help: 64 bit Firewall

Just upgraded my system to x64 for a trial period, Anyone know any good 64 bit compatible firewalls?

Cheers,

Largo

I agree, but without the windows firewall bit.

Never hurts to double bag though.

Windows firewall is horrible!

It is too dependent on registry entries that any decent trojan can fuck with in an instant.

Like I said, it never hurts to double bag for all those lovely 'what if' moments that we could bring up all day, but a well configured hardware firewall is the best individual option there is in my opinion. It also doesn't use system resources, and will work for any computers on the network, irrelevant of OS version.

To answer Largo, no, I don't know of any 64bit specific softwar firewalls off the top of my head.

I think outpost firewall is 64bit...
I ain't bothering with any 64bit software firewall though

windows built in shit is enough for me.

I use my router for a firewall, windows can wank off.

I'm pretty sure any decent trojan can also modify files on a harddrive...
