Re: Antivirus and Firewall Protection

I am no expert but I disagree with you on the "new" ZoneAlarm

Peter,

You, my friend, are more of an expert than you will admit. Getting a
network like that set up and running, with or without ZA, is quite an
accomplishment.

My problem with ZA is that it appears I have to allow several of the XP
functions to have Server status in order for them to operate. I recall
being told not to enable anything as a Server. If this has changed
with XP, I would like to know where I could find out which XP functions
(and other software apps) require (and it is safe to grant) Server
status (Trusted and/or Internet zones) in order for them to do their
thing. The ZA frorum talks about creating rules and other stuff that I
really don't want to mess with. Just want to tick some boxes and be
done with it.

If you could give me some guidance in that regard, I would appreciate
it (and may change my opinion of ZA).

Thanks.
