Zone Alarm & SP2

[Guest]

Should I use both zone alarm and the sp2 fire wall? Which one is the best to
use if I only use one? Thanks

ZA is far better IMO. The XP fw only tracks incoming traffic; ZA will also
watch that nothing goes out to places you dn't want to go to. For my money,
Sygate has the best free firewall.

No. One or the other.

Zone Alarm is far better and more configurable than the Windows Firewall.
Either way you only need to use one firewall. Using both may cause a
conflict.

ZA is better and was just updated today to version 5.5.094.000
