I put Kerio Personal Firewall slightly below ZoneAlarm for ease of use, but above it for functionality. They're both effective but ZA has runaway memory leaks that arise during heavy use. It wouldn't bother me as much had ZoneLabs not stated they aren't addressing the problem since only a minority of users are affected. Guess who's in the minority. :/
