Zone alarm anti virus and firewall freebie
« on: 11 May 2012, 10:46:09 »

Anybody on here know anything about it ?

I've used zone alarm firewall along side avg freebie for years and never had a problem other then avg seems to slow the laptop down quite a bit and can be a little sensitive at times.

Is it worth dumping avg and downloading the combined zone alarm or should I leave it be ?

On most of my machines, I now just stick to the built in Windows F/W and use MSE for AV/Malware purely for performance.  AVG is getting as sluggish as McAfee :o. Avast! is just plain annoying, and NOD has pee'd me off once too often.

Indeed, he is a self-centred prick.
