Question Firewall WinXP Pro & AOL Broadband on Router

Hi any advice here?

I am currently running XP Pro and using Zone Alarm freebie version.

XPSP2 installed a firewall that was turned off, seems to have got turned on somewhere along the line but everything is still working OK.

AOL are offering McAfee for free - is this better than ZA freebie ver or are they pretty similar?

Also should I turn XP firewall back off or is it OK to leave it if all is going OK???

Cheers

Mick

If ZA is working then you don't need the XP firewall. I'd say ZA is better than MacAfee, but that may just be me.

Nearly forgot: leave AOL as soon as you can because they are the Anti-Christ. Get a proper ISP. For the love of G*d...
