I installed ZoneAlarm yesterday , it is working fine. i used it before when i was on Dial Up. The problem now is the disconnection of the Boradband when the ICPM (Internet Control Message Protocol) try to allow incoming Echo Request ,Incoiming timestamp request, Incoming Mask Request, Incoming routers request, Outgoing destination Unreachable, outgoing source quench, outgoing parametre problem, outgoing time exceeded, and Allow Redirect. So in windows XP firewall i was checking those 9 ICPM incoming and outgoing to prevent my connection from disconnection. Now on zone alarm it disabled WIndows firewal. and i dont know how to allow incoming and outgoing of those ICPM .. Any help please to prevent my connection from shutting down ?

Sounds like you want to try to add expert rules to Zone Alarm.
Under Main screen, Firewall, Expert Rules (third tab) choose add.
Sounds like you know what you're doing from your description of playing with the MS firewall, so take a look here.
Under protocol you can specify ICMP, and if you know where your traffic is coming from, you can refine the rule for this.
For whatever it's worth, I think ZA is quite OK to use, it does have its quirks, but then again, so do most programs.

Click on the Zone Alarm. Go to Programm Control. Check the sites and sites you consider safe to accept. Where there is a question mark, you click on that and click allow if you find the programme is to be allowed

hi, there are some virus with your PC. perhaps you can try Norton to remove the virus. but you need to pay for the software.
i also recommand you to use firefox with Google toolbar. firefox can disable all virus to run, because the virus can only run on IE.
besides, firefox can block any any poppus and disable any virus and adware, spyware on webpage, so, firefox is much safer than IE. as you know, most of the virus is spread throught internet and webpage.
firefox is much smaller than IE, so i run faster than IE.
download firefox for free:

when dialing up... there may be a reason for it... BUT, for broadband, you should have some kind of router. the router should be configured to block everything except your outbound connections.

Why do you need Zone Alarm, if you are using "windows defender"

If your modem has a built in firewall turn it off.
