ZoneAlarm gets annoying if you jsut installed it. It asks for permission to do EVERYTHING!

And that's very good. If ZoneAlarm gives permission to a program because the prog is on a 'safe' list, it's very dangerous and certainly not a good firewall. Ever heard of firewall-injection... or something like that
Anyway, please note that ZoneAlarm is just a software firewall and that it's part of the system it needs to protect. To be safe, I recommend that you also use some sort of hardware firewall. I got some good experience with Linksys stuff

Yup, those tools are (if I gor it correct) browser independant. You just conenct to an IP (e.g. 127.0.0.1:8080) which the tool made for you and you're done.

Yes, that is a dangerous condition. There are many ways to exploit this. I've seen IE used to go and download rootkits, among other things. I've see people recreate spaceless piping reverse telnet shells (similar to the *nix telnet | sh | telnet, only its telnet | cmd | telnet) using telnet (as its on the allow list). You're only limited by your imagination.
But you want to know whats really scary? You know the commands to manipulate Windows process from sysinternals? Its possible to use the `pskill' command to actually kill the firewall, thus rendering it useless. Attackers can also do this to your AV, your anti-spyware, to anything.
So, once they get access, its game over.
