    Post Built in FireWall

    With XP having the built in firewall, what's the opinions on using multiple firewalls. I like to use ZoneAlarm. Will the two firewalls conflict with each other and cause holes...or will it just be "double security"? If there any articles on this, I would love to see a link so that I can read up on this. Thanks in advance.

    The built in firewall only protects you from incoming packets but not outgoing ones. My friend
    has Zonealarm on XP. It works fine.

    Zonealarm, Tiny, and Sygate all work just fine in XP Pro. Pick which ever one you like the best. The XP firewall works fine for incoming, but does not protect against outgoing, and it's impossible to configure. You're better off with one of the 3 above, and just disable the XP one.
