    I am using ZoneAlarm Pro has an internet firewall but it takes ages to load, so my question is as follows:

    Is the firewall provided by XP any good and is this okay to run as a standalone with no other protection.

    It seems crazy that I have 2 running at the moment, ZoneAlarm and XP.

    Any better ones out there?

    The XP firewall is fine in terms of inbound protection but offers no outbound protection.

    Kerio is worth considering as an alternative to ZAF/ZAP (it's free, a small download and has a very small footprint).
