Eh? The XP firewall doesn't "start" - it's just there, it won't show up like ZoneAlarm does in the systray etc.

It only stops data coming in, not out. This means that any program on your computer can leak information on the Internet.

Leave the Windows Firewall off & install Zone Alarm, free on PC World CD's.
