if a suite (one of the first two), you don't need another firewall.

Second, it's never too late to run the NRT. If Norton was once on the machine, and the NRT was not used, go ahead and use it anyway.

Some software firewall options available here:

That said, with the advent of highspeed internet, most machines are behind a router with a hardware firewall. It's all I use for mine, that and the native firewall of XP or Vista.

It was the standealone. I ran the NRT, thank you! I just really like zonealarm for it's simplicity and outbound protection (which windows firewall doesn't have). It's a shame I can't use it, hell, it's almost enough for me to find a different AV program.
