Re: Zon Alarm vs/and Windows firewall?

That's odd.

At the time, a month ago, my XP had ZA Pro latest version running fine.
When it came time to install SP2 with the CD that MS was nice enough to send
to me, I disabled ZA Pro. Of course the PC was not connected to the
internet or were there any active LAN connections.
Disabled or closed any active applications running in the system tray.
Installed SP2 and rebooted. WFW installed and ran at boot. So did ZA Pro.
Disabling WFW was no problem and no apparent consequences.
