Hey Sharky, that is what I have been trying to tell u abt that and right now I still have my ZoneAlarm Anti-Virus as well as firewall.....they works much better than just stupid ZoneAlarm Interenet Seructiry!!! They kept shut down my fuckie AIM too!!! same thing so finally changed it and now it works much better!! I have no plms for a long time since last Jan of this yar!!! U dont need that more of stupid shit Internet Seruirty!! But it is up to u! Just that Interenet Seriurty have caused the plms alot lately in the past with my pc all the time due to norton of course but did try that ZoneAlarm Internet Seruirty but did not work with AIM too!! So finally change to ZoneAlarm Anitviurs....as well with Firewall.....works like charm! Have not plms with it since! It was just too much stuff in one thing (ZoneAlarm Internet Seruirty: anit-virus, spyware, ...etc!! Too much!) So only two things is all I need and I do have popup block in my Avant and have also SpyBot, and Ad-Aware... that what I have right now... so far it runs better... as long as I had to be more careful that all that matter! Nothing me be that much! I am telling u truth! JUST DEPEND ON THE COMPUTER ONLY...can be different than others! That all...
