Re: Little Help Please...
the windows firewall is great, it just runs, it doesn't bitch at you all the time, for most people i would have thought it would be great, and the additional functionality added in SP2 is great for me
I'm just saying....Re: Little Help Please...
I don't like the windows firewall - just hogs resources on my machine 
Just my preference. I have a hardware firewall on this side of my internet connection. I've never had a problem with it, never had to restart it.

Re: Little Help Please...
well yeh hardware firewalls > software firewalls anyday, but you can't tell me the windows firewall hogs more resources than zone alarm?
Re: Little Help Please...
Zone Alarm == null
That about sums it up. 
I think most software firewalls have that problem, though I must admit Windows' firewall is probably the least intensive.
