Subject: Firewalls?
I finally got tired of the free ZoneAlarm taking so long to load at
boot.
How long is "so long"?
I still run ZA 2.6.<something> on all my Windows installations, the only
"nag" is a start-up screen displaying for 3 or 4 seconds. Otherwise, I
never noted much boot delay compared to virus scanners, registry
integrity checks, reading ACLs etc etc which take > 4 minutes on my 1.6
Ghz desktop.
Would re-installing ZA help?
Some alternatives:

BTW, I could download Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6 just a minute ago
through the pcworld link above.....
