do i need Zonealarm or is xp's firewall good

[dustin_ds3000]

i have blackice and Zonealarm pro on cd but not installed. i been using xp's firewall for some time now and i was wondering if im at risk

I definitely recommend you use a third party firewall.

The Windows firewall isn`t very good and won`t protect your pc as good as a third party firewall will.
