Yes It Does! But We're Talking About Protection Here :D
well protection isn't the only thing we search in a firewall ;) ... some of the other stuff is its stability and ease of use.
You Are Totaly Right! But It's Hard To Find A Firewall That Gives You Ultimate Protection And Stability At The Same Time (More Complex The Easier It Crashes;)).
of course, since nothing is perfect.
i used blackice when my OS was win 98... twas good, not bad...but sometimes i felt like punshing it :P every single .exe program i wanted to acsess came with a warning from a black ice "beware, might be a trojan blablabla"
isn't there a "don't pop this for that proggie again" type of option ? .. because it's so annoying to check each time, though its more secure !
yeah there is, but only for that file, and u know, i'm not gonna install that program more than once.....so with each setup file, i have to check... it used to drive me crazy

Zone Alarm suite 5.1 smthng is good but you can try kaspersky anti-hackers 1.5 or outpost firewall
Yeah Kaspersky Is Fine And Does'nt Use So Much Resources As ZoneAlarm.
