ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2006

5 stars (Best of what I've seen) - If you want a good security progam that's not a resrouce hog this is the best of what I've seen. I had a prior version Norton Internet Security and was very pleased with it. I ignored poor reviews and complaints about recent versions of NIS and upgraded when the older version was no longer supported. I should have heeded the reviews as all their problem became mine.

ZA 2006 definitely meets all these requirements and has won me over. 1 stars (Stay Away!) - This software reduced my computer to a grinding halt.
