I deploy laptops with native firewall off as like others said, causes too many 
false results and burdens the OS, I install Zone Alarm Pro and configure it, I 
don't just use the defaults, I also install Ad Aware Pro and Symantec AV corp. 
ed. And enable and configure remote desktop control, I can manage it from 
pretty much anywhere, but my road warriors come in often enough that I usually 
just tweak them when they are in the office, but I can worm on them remotely. I 
think the key is not using the default settings. We did try MacAfee but the 
results were poor, may have been an older version, but what we use works well, 
so we stick with it.

Thank You

What desktop firewall products are you using for Windows XP laptops?
We're looking to buy several laptops and would like to buy a tool that is 
easily deployed and managed over the network.
We've been trying the MacAfee Firewall and we have lots of problems pushing 
updates and managing it.  Sometimes it completely blocks everything.

The management tool is really bad!

Any recommendations?
