Are there any free firewalls out there that are worth a darn? I just do not really trust Microsoft with my security referencing the firewall included with XP Pro.

Another question references the ability to run multiple firewalls. Like tow on a box. I have heard that it's good to do this and I have heard that it's not good referencing security.

Zone Alarm.
Most firewalls do not coexist together in 1 system because of resources conflict (for example, if you have Penicillin or McAfee in your system, Zone Alarm will refuse to install until you remove the other).

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.
