Getting rid of MS Firewall

[Harry Avant]

I have a Toshiba laptop running WinXP SP-2. I use ZoneAlarm and would
like to get rid of the MS Firewall. I've tried using msconifg to keep
it from running each time I boot but no luck. I'm getting tired of
seeing the "Your computer may be at risk" message. How can I really
stop it from running or delete it for once and all?

Go, Control Panel/Security Center/Change the way Windows Alerts Me/ and
uncheck .......

An alternative would be to click on "Start/Run/type in "Services.msc" and
click on "Okay". Find "Windows Firewall and ..... right click and then
click on "Properties". From this window, you can deactivate the starting of
the firewall.

Security Center /should/ recognize your ZA Firewall (and installing ZA
/should/ automatically disable the Windows Firewall). I'd recommend
contacting ZA Support, Harry.

Thank you I'll give it a try. I had already used msconfig to keep it
from running but I guess it gets turned on again with an alert. I
changed the "way windows alerts me" and disabled it in Services.msc,
hope that will do it.

Again thanks,

Harry
