Zone Alarm 5.1 interfaces perfectly with the Windows firewall. You do
not need to do anytning. The windows firewall is turned on by default
as the system loads; once Zone alrm has loaded, it reports back to
Windows and the Windows firewall is automatically shut off.

   Any version of Zone Alarm priori to 5.1 does not intercave in this
way with the Windows firewall (or so I have heard; I had 5.1 installed
brfore I installed SP2).
