    I am on a LAN and running Zone Alarm Pro and Norton Antivirus. I am wondering if Windows firewall (currently on) conflicts with ZA. If so, which should I run, ZA or Windows firewall?

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    You should only run one firewall as per Microsoft's recommendation - go for ZoneAlarm which, unlike Windows Firewall works in both directions - inbound and outbound. Windows firewall is inbound only.
