One of the best reasons is that ZA will stop outbound connections as well as
anything that might get past the router; something that you may have gotten
and didn't realize it and za won't let it phone home.  Plus you may have
some ports that are open and not know it.  You may want to try your system
on some of the test sites such as dslreports.

Leslie,

Could you clear up something for me?  I'm using a
Linksys router with ZoneAlarm.  What additional
security benefits does Zone Alarm provide versus just
the router's firewall?

Thanks,
Mike
