    hello guys!

    i wonder if any of you are using ZoneAlarm pro as firewall.

    i am using ZA pro as firewall and when i first open I.E or firefox, it always takes 15 or sometime longer than that to get the internet work (during that period, everything is frozen).

    mine's a T61. no thinkpad add-ons in the browsers. even other comps have the same symptom using ZA pro.

    any idea why?

    you can use the "edit" button for modifying post.

    i am using the ZoneAlarm security suite with Windows XP. i use IE7 and Opera, and has not notice any slowdown. opening any program is instant -slightly slower than using no security suite of course, but the system did not froze.

    If you are really bothered by the slowdown you can try out comodo pro firewall. It's free and is very fast for me.
