I at the moment use Zone Alarm but ever since I installed it I get random crashes. If I uninstall it the crashes stop..

I was told to check out Kerio since they would be user friendly and very good.

I am looking for something relatively easy and obviously something that works well. All I do online really is usenet and torrents so I would like to be safe.

Thanks for all recommendations.

This is a stable, fairly recent version which i highly recommend.The newest version since being acquired by "Sunbelt" has had "BSOD" issues, so stick with 4.2.2. for now.

Kerio 4.2.2
