Re: Hard Drive keeps filling up

I used to use Zone Alarm (Home free edition) but it was vunerable to an
exploit and they were not
going to fix it.  At that point I switched to Kerio and found I liked it
better and they seem alot more
user friendly (i.e. they don't say "we are only fixing the one you pay
for...").

Just my opinion, I am no expert, but I would check the firewall log
files, they can grow quickly if
some sort of blocked attack is being logged.

> I kind of think the 3 firewalls might be a little overkill also.  Just
more to mess with.  While there are many that swear by one firewall or
another, Zone Alarm is easy to use.  I've heard many say it doesn't
work, but I've not seen evidence to back it up.  I will say that Zone
Alarm has been known to "break" and stop working, allowing either all
internet traffic or none at all.
