I still have Zone Alarm on my PC (the free version for personal use), mainly to stop Microsoft downloading rubbish I don't want without telling me. I don't trust Microsoft's own software not to 'cheat' by doing stuff I don't want behind my back, any further than I could throw Bill Gates :-(

It's sad when you have to protect yourself against the software vendors, who at times seem worse than spammers, hackers and adware and virus writers :-[

But I don't like ZA as much since I upgraded it to the current version (foolishly in hindsight). The current version I have is less user-friendly than the old one, and doesn't seem to have some of the useful functionality the old one had (if it does, it's a lot more difficult to find it) :-{
