Does Zone Alarm slow down a very fast cable modem connection?? Do you guys use one??? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks

I don't think that ZA slows anything down,I have a 3 pc home network with roadrunner,and I liked ZA so much I bought ZA pro.It doe'nt really have any thing to do with speed once you have it all configured correctly,I also use all 3 configs at "High Security" settings and I get awsome speeds here.

1945kbps \ 324 kbytes/s down; 345 up

2 questions..where do I get @Guard and if I uncheck my Mcafee in msconfig, does that mean I have no virus protection.(With Mcafee, there is 2 different mgavt (or something like that) lines in msconfig)??

I have had ZoneAlarm2.0 since day one of my service.I get consistent 3000kb down and 700kb up.200-300KB file downloads.If Zone Alarm has been slowing me down I'm gonna be PISSED!

What is different in the pro version besides the color?

It is much more for the admin's to use really. You can change a lot more options that just moving the slider in the original - like IP's and other crap.

ZA hasnt slowed my connection down. if your not sure shut it down and try a few downloads before and after. it shouldnt cause a slowdown.

you guys are going to laugh but i downloaded zone alarm just today, because i heard having cable is susceptible to spyware and all that jazz. But the funny thing is don't know how to use it or if it is working. i do see an icon down below. but do i have to configure anything for settings. help
