     In my experience those software programs cause more issues than they fix.

     Isolate the box on a hardware and software firewall editor network or subnet. Get on the nets, though browser could be an issue too.

     The average lifespan of an unpatched Windows box on the Internet is about 20 minutes.

     Vista is out of support and Microsoft has not provided security patches for it for years.

     Windows Vista is so old that there are probably dozens of exploits out there that will not be patched.

     This is not fixable. If you must use Vista, do not connect it to a network.
