There is an option in Control Panel - Windows Firewall, that says something
like "I have my own firewall that I will take care of." Ensure this is
checked, and you should not be hassled again. You can then either have both
firewalls running, or switch off the XP one. I run Norton Internet Security
2003, and have both that and XP's own firewall running, with no issues.

Not sure about the latest version of ZA. Someone else may be able to answer
that.
