Improve Windows Xp Pro Security

[SimianSez]

I'm wondering, as a user of XP PRO, if you've encountered difficulties with k-lite using the xp firewall, or zone-alarm for that matter. I noticed that in the k-lite FAQ they recommend disabling the xp firewall...

Bitdefender (inc Murphyshield) is a killer firewall

COMPLETE STEALTH, only a hardware firewall is better

I dont use the xp firewall, but I use Zone Alarm Pro and kazaa works with it just fine.

Hackers allways have a way around them.
about 75% hackers cant get past a firewall pretty much..

Very good stuff indeed....
I have a Dutch language version of XP, and am always busy with others' computers as well (I am what one would call a "knowledgable friend", not an expert (not by a longshot) but I know my way around), and in some cases with different language versions than my own.
The thing I like here, besides some points that I didn't think about or that occasionally slip my mind until I am reminded of it, is that it's a post using the English language version : this has some confusing differenses with other versions it may seem, but it actually helps me (it makes me think of what would be a logical translation for the things I am looking for in the laguages that I know and work with).
I must, however, say that in my Dutch version of XP there was one thing covered in the post that I couldn't find back anywhere... I'll try to find a work-around and post that later on though.

I have Zone Alarm (Most current version) and I have allways been able to share on my network. It automaticly configures itself for my Linksys Router.
