ZA affects my online gaming

K

HI!
I enjoy playing online games and since I have installed Zone Alarm Pro 4.5
there is something wrong with the connection. I can connect to remote
servers and play but with ZA operating i keep experiencing kind of time lags
(frame freezing) which makes playing impossible. However there is nothing
wrong with my ping. After I shut down ZA everything is smooth and fast as it
should be.
Can anybody help?
Thank you

Zone Alarm is a software firewall, so it competes with your applications for
CPU, memory and I/O. An appliance firewall, or other hardware solution,
would certainly provide better performance.

Any suggestions for a good one to buy?
