[dba-Tech] WXP SP-1 Firewall

The main zonealarm program might come up after the 90 seconds, but the
service itself is started on bootup. It's a two part thing, the interface
and the actual "blocker" program.

As I understand it the WinXP firewall comes up right after the boot and 
something like Zone Alarm maybe installed
say 90 seconds later, if you dont use the WinXP firewall aren't you 
exposed naked to the Net for that amount of time.
Or is there a way around this?
