I've used ZA from time to time over the last 12-15 years, and I can say
that I have never been that happy with it. My protection stems from
several sources.
a) My ISP scans emails and stops a lot of spam to a level I can control
to an extent.
b) I have AVG Free, which needs updates almost on a daily basis. Some
regard this as a problem. I don't, as it means I am as up to date as is
possible. On broadband, downloading to update my virus scanning takes
less than 30 secs.
c) I run Spybot s&d as often as I think about it.
d) I run Adaware, also as often as I think about it.
I think I have WinXP firewall enabled.
I do not open any attachments, no matter who they are from, without
first saving them to my desktop then scanning with AVG.
In all the years I have been on the net, I have had three or four
infections.
Cheers. Perhaps I'm lucky.
