Hello, Everyone: I don't want to DISABLE my PREINSTALLED XP FIREWALL But I was thinking about getting ZONE ALARM! my question is>>can a person run 2 firewalls at the same time? Or maybe i don't even need the Zone alarm, what do you guys think? Any advice would be appreciated, Thank you, TOM

They can be installed and ran, but only one will receive the majority of
connections for one firewall will be behind the other rendering the
secondary firewall rather useless. Redundancy is not needed in firewalls.

ZoneAlarm vs XP's FW? If the boat floats then why jump ship. In other words,
if your getting alerts about unwanted access then the job is being done.
