XP Security

Tekno, I believe that the XP firewall is a stateful inspection firewall, and just because you have a hardware firewall you really should run a software one as well. It's just another layer of protection, you can't be too careful.

Edit: Try BlackIce, I really liked it.

BTW: Gore, what's wrong with ZA, I always heard good things about it. I'm just curious since I have a rather limited experience with firewalls.

I completely agree. Its just I dont trust XP.

In regards to BlackIce....I'm using that now, have it installed on a few machine infact. The only thing I don't like about BI, is the application protection. Every application that runs...including IE and the likes, a message pops up asking me if I want to allow it to happen. I know BlackIce is doing it's job, I just dont want to be clicking all the time. But I love BlackIce! I haven't had a problem with it since I installed it.
