zone alarm : eating my hard rive space ?

[clapton is god]

been using Zone Alarm for years now, but i've noticed that my windows h/drive space goes up and down and i'm putting it down to z/a and it's logging features.
i'm going to try and use a diff firewall proggy.
which freeware firewall Program do you think will eat up less resources and not have annoying logging ala' z/alarms' Rdb,ldb,fwdbglog/fwpktlog,tvdebug and gawd knows what else.

please advise.

Comodo Firewall Pro 3.0 is good. http://www.personalfirewall.comodo....currency=GBP&region=United Kingdom&country=GB

What he said. I would turn the Defence+ feature off. It is just plainly annoying.

Does your router not have a hardware firewall that you could use rather than software?

my speedtouch router prob has a hardware firewall, but is'nt it a good idea to have both or is ott ?

there's really no need for both, as long as you don't go downloading free smileys and screensavers and what not

If you have a decent hardware router then just a hardware router is fine. The hardware router will give you the protection. The software firewall would just be for letting you choose which programs can connect to the Internet etc.
