ZA on Vista

The Eset was complaining about having to disable itself in a week or so, so I figured I`ve got a 15 day effort for ZA that works for Vista - I`ll give it a shot.

Installation went fine, updated itself nicely. Ran a check to see if Eset was doing it`s job, and as I thought it came back totally clean.

Feeling I had with the NOD variant was that I never "felt" it was doing much, it may well have been, but it was just a feeling. Maybe for the educated way I use the `net it`s more than enough, but a feature or 2 away from the control I felt with the likes of ZAss on XP.

Anywho, ZA is crippling the pc beyond belief - at a set point so it seems. I`ve taken the learning settings right off, as they were making it worse, but even set as it is now, I can surf for a certain amount of time then I`m almost locked down.

Even something like taskmanager will refuse to come up cos it seems scared at these points. Leave the pc alone for 30mins or something and almost normality does come back.

I have an inclin that if the pc in question was 4x faster than this one, the pauses in operation would be cut down significantly - however still being there, just not as noticable.

Weighing up the running costs of the pc tho, I think I`m going to have to ditch the ZA for an Eset suite. Something to submit as a software request, but I can`t see it being a problem, even tho they`ll attempt to get me to use avg >.<

Any experiences of ZAss on a higher end pc ? I know at this point it doesn`t support alot of things in Vista vS XP, but I`m sure it`ll come eventually. But general running ?
 
Zonealarm massively slows down my PC, especially on boot and it's really annoying. Was actually looking for a new software firewall to use. Norton seems to bloated from what I hear. Was looking into this one called Jehico or something like that, apparantly only uses about 4mb of ram and is very powerful for it's small size.
 
Zone Alarm can be very heavy on a system, in fact it can be a total pita. I had ZA Pro and it isn't quite so bad, but still it gets annoying

NOD32 is far smoother, and I am really enjoying their security suite (free on beta atm), what a great piece of software
 
Oooh, I didn't realise that Nod32 had a security suite (with firewall and stuff). Gonna definetly check that out, since I love Nod32 Anti-Virus :)
 
Ya the suite is pretty dormant when u install it. Doesn`t nag at u with many things at all after a few days for network variation stuff.

Just had to yank ZA it was getting unbearable, just from link clicking. I`m glad they`ve got a Vista version, but it needs a whole lot of work.
