386599 2005-09-07 05:11:00 I have windows Xp with windows firewall which I have to switch on manually as it always seems to be off when I boot up.
Would this be because I am running zone alarm as well thinking that two are better than one? If I get rid of zone alarm can I rely on the windows firewall to protect my computer ?

No, no, you have that backwards! Keep ZA and ditch the XP one.

No, no, no, no, Zonealarm is by far the superior firewall.
