>The early releases of ZoneAlarm 5 were problematic for some users, but in my experience the current releases (5.5.062.xxx) are fine. I've been running it on Win XP Pro for quite a while with no problems.

Yes, I had problems with earlier ZA and went to MPF (McAfee's firewall). It's not bad, IMO.

BTW, what's your take on disabling the XP firewall, if you don't mind my asking, if using another like ZA or MPF? I hear things, but practically-speaking, it doesn't seem to affect much at all whether XP firewall is disabled or not. MPF almost always over-rides it, AFAIK.


>>Anybody tried McAfee Firewall with WinXP Pro? Does it work well?

Yes (to original post), as noted above - I like the McAfee firewall (but then it goes along well with McAfee AV, which I must use for telework).
