Disconnect from web - disable zone alarm - enable windows firewall - reconnect
Being on the web without a firewall is irresponsible - bad news is automated these days, not a question of someone waiting, but of constant scanning attacks that could pop up anywhere.
And you know what - a lot of these attacks come from machines that have been quietly infected from other machines that were left open in just such a way - and sooner or later someone suffers big-time.
Its not paranoia - its a real problem
Would you walk across the road with your eyes closed and feel safe because you couldn't hear anything coming? Even once?
