Choosing Software
When you are looking for Antivirus, Ad and Popup Blockers, what should you be looking to get from the software? How will it affect the system and which is the best of each of these to have. Meaning software maker.

A firewall that gives me more control than just switching it on and off is a good beginning point.I have been using zonealarm for years and I don't feel comfortable with ZA switched off.It's also important that the firewall and the antivirus don't interfere with each other's functioning.After being frustrated by Norton ,I finally settled on AVG and since then I've had much less virus problems on my pc.

I have been hearing really good things about Zone Alarm and wanted to know why people like it so much. What makes you keep this firewall vs. choosing another one.

I look for reliability and updates available so I don't trust new players and always trust old and recommended makers and software providers.
