I actually meant that there is a good chance that you could safely get rid of both the files _and_ ZA. Here is some reading for starters: http://home20.inet.tele.dk/b_nice/PFW.htm

At first glance your link above is both interesting and informative. You seem to have layed out a logical and easy to understand approach to the firewall issue for personal computers running in various environments. I promise I will continue to peruse all the information you've provided. Many, many thanks! (By the way, with your and another's responses, I was able to reclaim nearly 300MB of hard drive space by safely deleting most of those .ZIP files I refered to in my initial post, as well as a large number of .TMP files! Now your weblink may hold the answer to whether I need a firewall at all!)
