![]() I've got a LinkSys router/switch/firewall that i put between my internal LAN and the cable/dsl modem. Never once did it report blocking anything that would have been harmful. I also studied the logs from it over a 6 month period and discovered that the only things it blocked were completely harmless anyway. I stopped using ZoneAlarm years ago because it was a resource hog and it itself was slowing my computer down far more than any malicious outsiders were. If it merely prevents you from getting information back from a site, it might still slow you down while that site is being accessed for information you'll end up not receiving. But then again, i don't know exactly what ZoneAlarm does when it blocks. It seems to me that having ZoneAlarm block them entirely could only help. While i assume this speed (or lack thereof) problem is probably rare and only hits small sections of the 'net at any given time, it does still affect some people badly. After i blocked them, these forum pages started loading in mere seconds rather than minutes. At one point it was taking several minutes for these pages to load and i found the culprit was 's slow response. In fact, that's the main reason i blocked them. Maybe you've got some network problems in your neck of the globe that slow down your communication with and make the pages stall while waiting for their stuff. ![]() That being said, i have zero trouble accessing this site. I see no sites or ads or anything from them and i certainly get no cookies from them. All i can say is that nothing from comes down my line into my network or my PC.
