Question for users of Nod 32 and Zone Alarm Pro (FW)

[Alltweed]

Update:

I moved this post to general HW and SW questions

Nod 32 has a strong reputation for antivirus and Zone Alarm for Firewall.

I am trying to optimize which feaures I allow each program to manage outside of their native core strenghts on my XP Pro X61T machine.

Currently, I have Nod 32 managing antivirus, spyware, stealth mode, email and Web...

Zone alarm is managing as a Firewall. I turned off ZAP's Email, antivirus and spyware to minimize conflict.

Are there better ways two optimize this?
