Re: is the XP built-in firewall any good?
Any third party option is better.. Zonealarm will cut it for you..
The SP2 firewall exists to give some protection on XP's first outing to
Windows Update.. it will give protection beyond that, of course, but only
against incoming 'hazards'.. third party firewalls also warn you re. things
that try to 'phone home'..
