I run the builtin firewall in XP at the moment and no problems... XP will beef that up and give me many of the extra features the zonealarm has

Just to let you know XP doesn't monitor outbound traffic. Meaning when a program is trying to acces the internet my McAfee firewall will tell me and ask me what I should do. I mean if you already have something in you computer that somehow you didn't get rid of, a lot of good that XP firewall will do you. Of course it's better than NOTHING which is what 90% of people have.
ZoneAlarm Security Suite has been getting pretty rave reviews. I'm using McAfee and it seems to do the job but I'm interested in the Zone Alarm one.
Of course no software firewall beats a physical one though.
