Everyone will be receiving at least 20 hits per day no matter what
connection they are on because of the Code Red Worm

Apart from others' good advice on this topic, I just give a bit of my
$0.02.

Never give up security, no matter who told you (to disable ZA).
especially
true if you have a always on connection. Even I have only dial-up
connection, I receive number of hits from the net everyday, sometimes
more
than 20 times in short time. ZA did a great job to stop both unwanted
inside-out and outside-in traffic for me.
