Re: XP Firewall and Zone alarm

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



When you install ZA, it will automatically turn off the Windows firewall.
You don't want to run two firewalls at the same time.

I've been advised to install the free edition of Zone Alarm firewall even
though I still have XP Home Edition firewall installed. The person said
they
can both run at once. Is this true? Is it a good idea?
