I have zonealarm Security Suit installed in my host OS, now I installed
virtual PC. According to Zonealarm's explaination, as long as Zonealarm
detect a new network, it will pop up a newwork wizard to guid me setup
things. But it only pop up to ask me include this new network in trustzone or
internet zone. Is this correct?
It'd be nice if ZoneAlarm in host OS can take care of both host and guest.
Is this posible?(I know I must install anti-virus for the VPC, but how about
firewall?)

That's impossible, because your VM is like a separate PC.
