According to Matousec, they rate quite high. Way above Norton and McAfee. No data though regarding the Vista firewall. Note: Only Version 7.1 runs on Vista.

You should be able to run the Vista Firewall w/ Advanced Security, type 'firewall' in Start>Search and run outbound rules.

i dont like ZoneAlarm because it inteferes with some programs and also blocks files. I switched to Comodo Firewall try it its new, completly free and has many features. Very strong anti virus
