Firewall

[Bob]

There have been many posts regarding installing Firewall
for WinXP. However, even though some people have claimed
that WinXP has it's own Firewall, I am led to believe that
this Firewall will NOT work with AOL. Several people have
verified this. I have been told to use ZoneAlarm. Does
anyone have comments about ZoneAlarm?
Also, someone gave me a disk with "Hacker Smacker Firewall
(FarStone)" on it. Would this work with my WinXP (IE6,
AOL)?
Thanks for any input.

AOL uses a proprietary dialer that Microsoft Windows does not recognize as a
network/internet connection, therefore you can not use ICF on an AOL
connection
