Hi
I know its fashionable to bash MS, but for the most part I just don't get it. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
Anyhoo, I have used Zonealarm and the MS firewall, and havent noticed any problems with Internet applications, but on the security side, you may try this site when running the XP firewall to get an idea of what is protected, I havent had the chance to do so. Zonealarm comes highly recommended
Just to add, I would think you should only run one of the aforementioned software packages at a time, and Norton Internet Security is another that comes highly recommended, although Zonealarm is free, and NIS is not.
The XP firewall is enabled and disabled via ;
1. right click my network places on the desktop > select properties. .2. right click your internet connection > properties. .3. select the advanced tab > add or remove the tick in the firewall section
