hello folks, just want to ask your opinion(s).

I have been using ZoneAlarm Pro for the past year, and soon I will have to renew my subscription if I want to go on with it.

I haven't got any real grumbles - it does its job well enough it seems, but I wonder if I could do better?
It seems a bit 'clunky', taking a while to load, and I am not sure, but think it might also be responsible for the wav files looping when I play my space game - very annoying.

Somewhere I read that 'the professionals', whoever they may be, do not regard ZoneAlarm Pro to be a 'serious' firewall, and suggest going for Tiny Personal Firewall instead.

Me, I know nuzzing.

I was quite happy with Sygates Personal firewall when I had no broadband, no network and Win ME, but I couldn't get that to run on XP Prof SP1.

Any thoughts please?
