No. You should enable XP's Windows-Firewall, and drop Zone Alarm.

I want to block those attacks, but at the same time I would
like to prevent anything that should not be on my computer, such as
malware, from sending out my personal information or whatever.

Why are you using Windows then after all? Why not Free Software like
FreeBSD or Ubuntu Linux, for example?
