Thanks for the reply. Is this worth replacing Windows Firewall?

There is a free program called leaktest.
It will test out your firewall....then you can decide.

Tried Leaktest and Zonealarm is the only firewall that effectively blocked it. So does this mean Zonealarm is the best? Is there a version of Zonealarm for 64bit Vista cuz the one I downloaded from download.com says its not compatible with vista. Thanks!

Where can I download Leaktest from?

When was the last time you did something for the first time?
