It slows your system down

I've been using zone alarm for the past 4 years, and my computer has been booting up slower and slower. This is all due to zone alarm. When I log in and am sitting in front of my desktop, I'm forced to wait 2 or 3 minutes before I can use any of my programs. This is because zone alarm is stopping any programs from working until it finishes loading.

I have since changed to Microsoft's OneCare and my system is much more responsive. As soon as my desktop appears, OneCare is running and I can open any program or file I like immediately. Another advantage is that I can install it on 3 PC's (which I have).

Conclusion: Zone Alarm used to be great, but now its slow, old and gets worse with every update.
