[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 842434, member: 69368"] Thanks for flagging up the free version of SpS. I have used the paid version in the past and liked it then. I've tried other products since and have just installed the new free version of SpS on a Win 7 PC, I'd been using Zonealarm Free Firewall on it. Using SpS instead of ZoneAlarm, with similar settings for both programs and without changing anything else on the PC, has sped up my machine a lot - general application response times, both online and offline. I'd done an OS re-install a few months before this and as so often can be the case there were a few things bugging me that had not occurred in previous installations of the same Microsoft OS on the same PC. One was when using the mouse, right click for context menu, left-clicking on 'New' then 'Folder' would cause the PC to hang for approximately 5-30 seconds before 'New Folder' appeared. This no longer happens. I can't for the life of me work out why this has changed with the removal of the Zonealarm free firewall, but I'm not complaining! I'd previously looked for ways to fix the issue without finding a successful solution, I'd even been tempted by a new OS installation. So far, so good, its only been a few days since I started using SpS again but I am very happy with it so far. [/QUOTE]
