Do any of you use the built in firewall in XP? How does it compare against BlackIce or Zone?

Thanks in advance.

It's better than nothing, but not by much. The built-in ICF does not block outbound connections, leaving you vulnerable to trojans, spyware, and other exploits.

A good firewall blocks both inbound and outbound connections, except those you allow through.
