    Hi,

    I figured out that Win XP Pro has a built-in firewall. So far, I have used ZoneAlarm as my default firewall, but it normally slows down the transfer a litte. As I have a fixed IP, should I be careful and stick to using ZoneAlarm or does the built-in firewall give me enough security when online?

    XP's firewall lacks any outbound protection. Stick with ZA.
