ZoneAlarm makes software ask for permission to access the internet, so you know right away if you've got malware that's trying to. And I just don't like all the goop they glommed onto later versions of ZoneAlarm. It's totally unnecessary, eats up resources, and I can't remember all the other things I didn't like about versions after 4.5. Plus, Vista's got so many processes and services running you can't easily see if something is running that shouldn't be. Oh well, XP with ZA 4.5, here I come!
