Computer help

I recently reinstalled Zone Alarm Firewall and it's slowing down my internet like mad and it really seems to dislike click-able links. I was just using Windows Firewall until recently, but I don't really trust it to do a good enough job.

I've used COMODO in the past, so I may try that one again, but does anyone have any other free Firewall

That's strange. We've got it on two computers and never had any issues.

Yeah, I haven't before either, but it may be an update issue or something. *hands*

Hm, I use Zone Alarm and so far have only had a problem with it when I used to have Norton anti-virus (you don't happen to be using Norton, do you?). They got into a death-match and completely locked up my computer until I could eject one of them through Safe Mode. >:[

Anyway, I don't suppose ZA will let you have the previous version of itself (I hate how most things insist you have the latest version, even though that sounds like a good plan if you can't use the latest version for a compatibility reason, then you're just out of luck

Hmm, while I didn't get any warnings on installation, this post seems to suggest it may be an incompatibility between AVG and ZA. Weird. Shall thinky on it more on the weekend. Maybe I can install an older version or something...

Thanks for the advice.
