Reboot time has gone from 2 minutes 30 to 1 minute 15.
Zonealarm is very, very cool if your PC is ok with it, but about half of users experience severe problems with it.
Oh, and this was on an Athlon 800Mhz, 256Mb RAM,. it's not like I was running it on an Amiga 
The old freeware version of ZA (2.6, available at www.oldversion.com ) is far superior in terms of resource management. Go with that.

Huh...guess I must be one of the lucky ones. I have never had a problem with ZA. I run an Athlon 500, 192M RAM, and Windows XP.
But, if I ever have any problems with it, I'll definitely check Kerio out. Thanks Bardan.
