If it makes you feel better, I had to de-install Zone Alarm. If it was running, I had no sound on my computer and it was really a pain in the rear. I'm pretty pleased with Ad Aware and Spybot. I do tend to run both though, and at any given time one picks up more than the other one did. I downloaded the Google browser bar, and the new one there zaps popups, but you can easily activate them for certain websites. That's real nice. I've had problems with some of the commercial popup zappers because you need to utilize the popups for some websites (like my bank's.)
