[QUOTE="PoloMint, post: 48910, member: 175235"] What’s your system spec ag10? And was it your whole system it slowed down, or just the internet connection? I agree with BGonaSTICK that it really shouldn’t slow your system down drastically. However I do think it is important that you get a firewall other than the XP built in one. The XP one does not tell you what programs are trying to get access to the internet or indeed let you stop any program going on line. In preventing Trojan horses this is vital, Zone Alarm also has far better inbound protection than the Windows XP one. I think you should try and find out what was causing the problems with Zone Alarm rather than just stick with the XP one, what version of Zone Alarm was it you tried installing? [/QUOTE]
