My system says that at least one firewall is active. How do I figure out which one is active?

i bet youve got the xp firewall running along with zone alarm free....

turn off the xp firewall, zone alarm free is great but if you get zone alarm pro like me then you wont theese crappy problems like i used to get where zone alarm free started to disable the internet;(

I have SP 2002, SP2. Actually, I had to remove ZoneAlarm because it conflicts with Avast but my system still shows now that Windows Firewall is on.

Thank you very much.

Do you think Zone Alarm is better than XP SP2's?

Thank you very much. I installed Zone Alarm combined with AVG. Antivir was not functioning properly.
