sp2 and ZoneAlarm

[Jan]

Anyone know if ZoneAlarm will work ok with sp2 I'm a bit concerned that this
service pack contains a firewall, as my ZA works perfectly and having
recently had the system all but crash, thanks to some free AV software [which
I've hurredly removed and gone back to Norton] I don't want everything going
crazy again.

Incidentally, can anyone explain just why my 'index' has disappeared in Help
& Support. I know there's another thread on that somewhere, but I haven't
been sucessful with the stuff they've suggested. Now I'm being told to
install sp2 and that it will correct it. Any info very gratefully received.

ZA works perfectly fine with SP2.

I am running ZA 5.5.062 (the free version) with XP Home SP2. I had SP2
installed prior to installing ZA. The SP2 Firewall is turned off -- XP
recognizes that another firewall is operational and the XP Security Center
shows "firewall on".

The SP2 firewall is incoming probes only. ZA will work fine, but as
soon as installed, go get its latest update (version 5.5.062.011)
