I don't use any of those; I have a hardware firewall. I use a
spyware checker frequently to control software that may try to
initiate connections from inside my home network.
The XP firewall has interfered with things, I recall, so I disable
it. Zone Alarm is on my laptop (not running TS) and it's more
configurable than Windows firewall.

If all you care about is incoming traffice, a hardware firewall is far
more reliable, IMO.
