Well I am user of Zone Alarm but am giving this a test run under the free trial to see how it is. So far it seems pretty decent but it has asked for a few access applications that ZA never asked for. I am not sure if ZA allowed these without asking or not just want to check here to see if this should be allowed. I also like how you can manually add something to the allowed list before you access the program. I like that feature as I am a gammer and I like being able to grant them access before using them the first time online. Now for those applications: LSA Shell Export Version Application Layer Gateway Generic Host Process for Win32 services this is on 2 times for some reason
