Re: [OT] ZoneAlarm alternatives ??
The best suggestion I can give you is NOT to use a software
firewall. They simply are not nessessary. Get a router, and you then
have a hardware firewall protecting you, and not slowing your
machine.
Only software you need is
Anti Virus - AVG
Anti Spyware - Ad-Aware
Anti Rootkit - F-Secure blacklight
the latter two only needing to run when you need them running.
