I have been having connection problems, and web pages have been slow to load.

I know Paradise have issues, as does this Press F1 site, but - as an experiment - I disabled Outpost and, even though ads are now loading, the pages *appear* to be loading quicker. Interestingly, Paradise hasn't kicked me off once whilst Outpost has been disabled.

I wonder therefore if some of my problems are related to Outpost? Anyone else finding this?

Should I go back to Zone Alarm?

I am using outpost with inspire.

No slowdowns here, but then dont have any useful ideas either.

I'm using outpost with paradise and have not noticed any slowdown. I'm in the countyside too so it can be a little sensitive to slowdowns.

I have seen computers with zonealarm slow right down and get good speeds with outpost and also seen the exact opposite on other computers. I suggest give both a try and see which one you are happy with as you are the one that is using it. Guest (0)

I actually think I have something blocked in Outpost that my be hindering the communication between myself and my isp. I am going to clear all the rules and settings and allow/block them again from scratch as they come up.

Thanks again
