Firewall needed?

[indrajit]

Hi! I Run WIndows XP Professional on an Intel D865 motherboard with 256 MB DDR SDRAM. I had Zone Alarm firewall installed on my system, but recently I installed service pack 2 for my OS and as Zone Alarm doesn't work with SP-2 I uninstalled it. What I want to know is wheather the firewall provided with SP-2 is sufficient enough or should I install something additional along side? Does anybody have any idea about Outpost firewall?

search the forum
there are 2 topics dealin with this
anyways the older version of zonealarm has a problem
get the latest version
it comes in a free version as well and its the best ive seen
there are many good ones
sygate
norton
tiny
take ur pick ... and disable windows firewall

for information on firewalls refer to:

and also install the newer version of ZoneAlarm. it is compatible with SP 2 and it'll work better than Windows Firewall.

Disable the auto load option of zone alarm then start up windows ant then start up zone alarm manually it works as before.
