Do any firewalls, especially the popular ZoneAlarm, provide firewall
protection for multiple user accounts on a PC with Win XP?

We occasionally wish to switch between a user and Family account, but
our Freedom security pkg (from ISP Adelphia cable) says it's not working
when we fast-switch to a user account while another account is active.

Thanks!

Yes, the Windows-Firewall does, which is part of Windows XP.

Complain to your ISP. They won't do anything until the complaint count gets
high enough (which probably means never, in this case) but you may as well
be counted. Good luck getting through to someone who knows what fast user
switching is.

Sygate does. You won't see the tray icon in the other limited user
accounts but it is still running and doing its job.
