Hi,

I just format my computer. And I just upgrade my windows XP to SP2. And I'm glad that they have window firewall. I just read some internet site and realize that window fireall is not as good as zonealarm. Therefore I DISABLE windows firewall. And install zonealarm.

After installing zonealarm, I open zonealarm and under the "Inbound Protection", the firewall keep blocking access EVERY SECOND....is that normal?

Now I go to security center, the "firewall" is ON. And I guess it means the zonealarm is ON, NOT the window firewall....cuz when I turn off zonealarm, it become "OFF".

Sound like there is no conflict. But why zonealarm keep blocking Inbound Protection access atempts EVERY SECONDS??? Should I go back to Window Firewall instead?
