RE: Windows Firewall
Zone Alarm is so much more sophisticated than Windows Firewall. The "few more popups" you speak of are because you haven't delved into the advanced functionality of Zone Alarm. You could make it inspect each component used, rather than each program if you so wanted to.
If you turn off the alerts, then what's the point in using Zone Alarm or any other more-advanced firewall? Just use Windows Firewall. It does the job. It does it well. The alerts are a key part of what makes those other firewalls so powerful.
