I recently installed a DSL in my home.My question is what type of firewall should I be running?I already have KERIO running.Earthlink has Zone alarm to download is this a good choice?

You probably should only run one firewall as you might get conflicts.
Are you using the Kerio firewall? What os are you running? WIN XP has a good firewall if you aren't using the Kerio one. Chas

If you are already running Kerio, you shouldn't need another one.

I agree, you don't need to run more then one.
1 firewall 1 antivirus program. Don't expect one to work as the other. We get people all the time that uninstalled their antivirus because we tell them they have a firewall in the router. Don't make that mistake

Kerio is an awesome firewall. very secure!
I run PC-Cillin 2003 as my virus scanner as well. Norton 2003 is another good antivirus program. |

Everyone thanks for the info.I purchased a Linksys CABLE /DSL firewall router.Everything is running good .Got the two computer network running very easy.I thought it was going to be a lot more complicated.Both systems are running WIN XP.The DSL is a lot faster than my old dial up and the telephone will still be able to work while I am online.Plus my wife can do her thing on her computer also.
