I have ZA installed as an outbound protection with XP and it works great.

Hi Hal
I'm thinking about reinstalling but it was kindof aggravating kept getting pop ups asking if it was ok for certain thing's to access the internet or act as a server damn it started getting a little confusing.
about what to allow and what not I previously had Black Ice and I never had those problems |

The popups go away eventually. You can click on the more info (or whatever it's called) button to see what it is that's accessing the internet and whether or not you should allow it.
