Hello, Everyone: I want to install Zone Alarm on my windowsXP which as you know has its own firewall (outgoing only) and at Zone Alarm they said it was compatible with XP! What i want to know, is it ok to run Both at the same time or do i have to disable my XP (preinstalled)? Is anyone running Both now and do you have any problems?

Tom : i would only run Zonealarm ....

it would be a pin trying to manage both ......

Zonealarm is excellent and you canb see exactly whats goin in and out .......

Basically running two is pointless

i agree with you guys, it does take a little more time to manage two firewalls, but it's not really a problem and they will work perfectly side-by-side.

i did this for ages until i finally got sick of all the non-stop zonealarm alerts so i removed it and am just using the native xp one.

if security is a big 'thing' with you then i reckon you should use both. as it is, either will keep your scanners and junior hackers at bay and lets be honest - what are the chances you are a target for one of the more accomplished hackers out there?
