I put Zone Alarm on my machine about two years ago and soon started having problems. The machine would just freak-out. If I rebooted without letting the processor cool off I would get the BSOD. I lost everything, three times. Thank goodness for backups.

I recommend Norton Personal Firewall for a software solution, and for hardware solution either using Cisco Pix, or Netscreen Firewalls, or and maybe a Hotbrick firewall. I remember back when I used to do onsite service to fix computers, I had so many calls from people that installed Zone Alarms, and when rebooting would actually get the BSOD, or somethimes just a hard freeze, and die right there completely.
