I have a router that has advanced firewall and parental control. Do I need a software firewall as well (Zone Alarm, ect.). I have actually downloaded and installed their free version (Zone) and find access to the internet occasionally blocked by it. Thanks everyone.

A better forum would be the Security Forum.

But we always install ZA since it notifies you of outgoing connections too.
