64 bit please

Please also include the 64 bit Windows. I love Zone Alarm, but I don't find 64 bit version. I like comodo, same cases. So please do I have use Symantec Personal Firewall in Client Security or Outpost Firewall 2007? Any good firewall for Windows 64 bit?

I'm afraid I don't personally have a 64-bit machine to test on. I think the best option for now is to use a separate hardware firewall, and perhaps use Vista's advanced firewall mode to get some more feedback about what's going on.

64 bit

Things a are slow for the 64bit market for security software. I've been looking at reviews of the software and 64 bit appears to be overlooked completely. Forget paying for software which tends to be bloated, consumes resources (something which reviews are now including). Me..I'm waiting for the Comodo Firewall 64bit version which is due soon. As for anti-virus, I agree on choosing another vendor. Currently Avast! appears to be looking good and supports 64 bit. Doesn't matter what the reviews say is good or bad, what works or fails, most reviews for security software tend to contradict each other. Who is right?....another nightmare for the consumer?...use you own judgement when reading them. Read other peoples comments. You'll see a pattern.
