Question ZoneAlarm Free reliability

Hello all. I've got a security question here. It's regarding playing online on BattleNet. At home, I've got the streamyx modem hooked up to a router called i-connect AP801 router. I got this free from my uncle who works at the company. Unfortunately, this free router is not really focused on security features i.e. hardware firewall. My point is that everytime I want to host a game, I need to enable an option in the router so that my comp. can receive all connections therefore allowing people to join my game. However, I know by doing that I am giving myself to AIDS. Some people believe the default Windows Firewall is good enough but I doubt so. I've decided to use ZoneAlarm free instead. I'm just wondering whether it would be easy to setup so I could play without having to enable that router option and also whether it is reliable. Thanks in advance.

Well, ZoneAlarm is not bad. You should have no trouble setting it up.
