Zone Alarm vs Kerio Firewalls

I'm using the free Zone Alarm v2.6.362 as a firewall on my Win95, 98,
and XP computers on my home wireless Linksys network. I'm testing a
trial version of the new Kerio Firewall by Counterspy on my XP laptop.
The interface is a little confusing, as far as understanding what it's
accomplishing. Can anyone give me an opinion as to how much better
Kerio performs as a firewall, compared to Zone Alarm?

Thanks!

Hi
As Firewall per-se there is No real differences between most Firewalls.
I.e . The Basic Security that is provided is almost the same.
The differences is the Add-On features and Interface.
In other words, it is not a security, or technology, it is more of a
personal preference, and which add on you would like.
