[dba-Tech] WXP SP-1 Firewall

I use Sygate Personal Firewall Pro (paid version)  It blocks any access to
the network upon booting until it can get loaded.  

I do not know about the behavious of ZA, but I would hazard a guess that it
is handled properly there also because otherwise that would be a big
security hole.

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?
