Danisb,
I have used Zone Alarm Free for a long time, and have been very happy with it. It is very easy to set up and use, I would suggest giving it a try.

I have a Toshiba A60 166 laptop (P4, 512MB, 30HD, WinXP pro) that came with the EZ Firewall. I have been using it for the past 3 months and I am comfortable with the way it works, it neither prevents me from doing what I want nor requires me to do any complicated software adaptations or verifications (which would put me at loss). The trial version is about to expire and I don't know whether to buy the $ 29 EZ version or to just download Zone Alarm for free. I am afraid Zone Alarm might bring in any bugs or anything that might interfere with the regular use of my PC. I am a low profile user (no games or fancy downloads) and work on 128 kps broadband.
Supposing I give Zone Alarm a try, would it be easy to remove it through program removal if I don't adapt to it (without leaving traces of it)?
Could anyone help on that choice?
