Zone alarm is more of a fire wall than an anti-virus or internet security.

If you have a router rather than having your computer directly connected to the internet, I do not really see the point in having a software firewall, let the hardware router do the job. Having two is good, but software firewalls can be a pain at times when trying to do certain things.
