I use Zone Alarm (free version) and it seems to be well worth the download. I also use Popup Stopper. Great little tool.. .. .There is one file manager I use for everything.

It is a totally seperate tool which does every file related job you ever wanted, including ftp, & compession as well as the usual move & copy files & directories. It's shareware and the best money I've spent on a program.. .. .Windows Commander is the modern equivilent to the old DOS Norton Commander and can be sampled here: . .. .<a href="http://www.ghisler.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ghisler.com/</a>
