RE: Windows Firewall
Windows Firewall has been proven to be as secure as any other firewall. The only difference being that Windows Firewall only provides basic protection; isn't as sophisticated as other software firewalls - they offer outgoing protection and incoming protection, application modification detection, anti-tampering, intruder detection, packet monitoring etc.

Usually, Windows Firewall suffices for a home computer.

As for Zone Alarm, be careful what you do with it. I and a large number of people have had issues with it crippling your internet connection.

Curious, what the heck is WFW?
