I had nothing but problems with Black Ice.  It kept stopping every application I tried to run so I finally got so fed up I just deleted the whole thing.  it was a major nuisance and a royal pain in the butt.

No, they co-exist nicely - but with ZoneAlarm running, you might as well disable the Windows firewall.

for one if your using a windows pc the firewall supplied is junk. i could hack tht with my dog at the keyboard. get you self a better reputed fire wall like one by symantics. or which ever one you choose. install it an then it should ask you everytime you accses a program tht connect via internet. if you know the program is safe enable it to accese. if you are worried it is nopt then dont let it use the net.

Have you thinked about reinstalling Windows on your computer or you can try searhing for it on microsoft.com. Lucky you, something unknown turned off forever my Security Centre and almost killed my Windows firewall, but now I have a new one, it's the same stupid as Windows Firewall, called Filseclab Personal Firewall, or you can purchase yourself Avast! antivirus (1 year free), that's also an good real-time protector.

Norton is better than Windows firewall.I suggest ZoneAlarm and they have a free version that works great.I have had it for 5 years and never had any problems.You can download it free from the site below.

If you have windows xp sp2 then you already have a firewall. It is not the best however. You can get a free one by doing a search for free firewalls. Try zonealarm.com which is a popular free one. Don't run two at the same time , if you install zonealarm you must turn off windows firewall protection if you have it.

Kerio or ZoneAlarm.  Don't run two firewalls on top of each other, however, as this creates problems.  Windows Firewall is crap.

Good Morning,\n\nWhen you install xp SP2, a firewall is installed on your computer, you are only required to put it on if you have not already done this during the installation process.\nGo to:\nStart, control panel, security center---> you will find firewall put it on.\n\nI hope this helps\nThanks

Yes.  Having two firewall applications will cause conflicts, and will not protect your PC as well as having one program.

check this link it most answers ur question\nhttp://macarlo.com/firewallreport.htm\n\nbut u can  also read here....\n\nThe best solution is a combination of a Hardware and Software Firewall.  The Hardware box protects your perimeter before things get into your network or to your box and takes some of the load off of the software firewall.  The Software firewall then provides a further layer of protection for your computer.  With different vendors too, you get a more balanced level of protection.\n\nFor example, a nice Watchguard Firebox X Edge protects my perimeter.  It runs about $350.  It provides NAT and DHCP and will block all ports incoming unless I specifically open them up, like RDP or PCAnywhere.\n\nOn my computer then, I have Norton Internet Security.  It provides a further layer of protection.  Since the Hardware Firewall takes care of the majority of hack attacks from the Internet, my software firewall doesn't have to work as hard and my PC can use more of it's processing power for other things.  The Software firewall also protects the PC from any threat that might start from inside my network and also from malicious code that might piggyback on legitimate web requests.  The Hardware firewall will do some of that, but the software one picks up where the hardware leaves off.  The software firewall by default also blocks all outgoing requests unless I permit it.\n\nI like the Norton Internet Security, but have used Zone Alarm in the past and it has been very good.  At work, I use Windows XP XP2 firewall to further protect my internal clients.\n\nOf course on top of those things, I run Norton AntiVirus, SpySweeper 3.5, SpyBot 1.3 and use Ad Aware to augment the others.  POPupCop helps protect my PC from PopUP disaster and I use Windows Washer 5.5 to keep the Internet clutter at bay after each web session.

Well the above 2 answers good and enough for you. But in addition u can also set the firewall on.

Just use the McAfee complete suite. It should offer to turn off the XP firewall for you, if not you can shut it off. Using both slows down traffic. Zone Alarm is FREE because it is SPY WARE.............

just add it to the allowed domains. in the firewall  right click on firewall icon and then open it, then go to program control.and enter it as safe
