Much to my suprise I quickly found out I can no loner use Zone Alarm for

just use the Windows built in firewall. Thanks

If you have a router with SPI then you only need the one that comes with Vista. Vista advanced firewall settings has outbound protection too but last time I tried messing around with that it blocked Vista's own Windows update software. Brilliant move by Microsoft. :-/
