One of the most popular pages on my Windows Vista Bookmarks blog:  http://vistabookmarks.blogspot.com/2007/03/windows-vista-compatible-firewalls.html

For a third party firewall, Comodo has received a lot of good comments.

Actually, the Microsoft Windows Vista Firewall isn't bad and is configurable.  See Donna's post at http://www.dozleng.com/internetsecurity/?p=133 .  There are additional links to information on the Vista firewall (different from XP in that it is 2-way but the "2-way" has to be turned on) on the Vista Security Features page:  http://vistabookmarks.blogspot.com/2007/02/vista-security-help-and-tutorials.html

That should give her a choice.

Corrine, you are a gem!  Thank You !  A lot of good reading you have provided.  But I can see these are things I need to learn!  I've only just begun to get my"teeth into Vista".   :thanks:

You are most welcome!  If the daughter of your friend is a pre-teen or teen (or other friends' children fit that category) see http://securitygarden.blogspot.com/2007/12/setting-up-new-family-christmas.html
