I agree and I'll probably reinstall ZoneAlarm. I had some peculiar problems accessing Internet resources that I thought might be related to ZoneAlarm so I uninstalled it. The problems went away. I need to do a little more troubleshooting.

This Linksys router is very good, but I would still use ZoneAlarm, as I can
go around your router if I know what you have, and you have not taken a lot
of time to set it up right. The badies, all know how to do this. The ZA
also acts as a second virus catcher for you to help your anti-virus
program, if you forgot to get the latest data file.
