I disagree. I think that you definetely need a personal firewall.
Many times you will have adware on your computer and these programs
will try to get on the internet. With ZoneAlarm you always have to
option to deny them, and then you can use another program to get rid of
them.
You also need an antivirus program at all times. In my opinion both
are required of any PC connected to the Internet. In the first ten
min. of a brand new computer connected to the Internet, people try to
hack it.
