Re: Zone Alarm vs. XP Firewall

IMO, never trust MS or Windows to keep you secure. Zone Alarm is a great firewall and it's free.

If you are behind a NAT and/or a hardware firewall ZA is more likely than not overkill unless you don't trust the other computers on your private network. There are exceptions of course.
The windows XP firewall does a fine job of keeping hackers out. It's shortcoming is that's all it does. It does not allow you to configure security for outgoing traffic.
