We are looking at Personal Firewall software for Windows XP.
We need one that can be configured so it isn't running when on our company
networks. None of them I have looked at seem to be able to do this,
e.g. ZoneAlarm. Are there any that can be setup this way, or would we have to
resort to hardware profiles in XP (which we would like to avoid)?
