What's the optimal distribution of functions between the Z100G and Zone Alarm Internet Security Suite? Should I let the Z100G handle firewall and virus checking and turn off those functions of Zone Alarm. T'would be a good thing if offloading some of Zone Alarm's security features would speed up its loading, which appears to be pretty slow. This is for a home network, not used to run a business.

We recommend not to disable the ZoneAlarm antivirus; Since it provides protection against additional threats, such as viruses spreading through media such as a USB key , or CDROM, which cannot be inspected by the ZoneAlarm Z100G gateway antivirus.

You can leave the ZoneAlarm software firewall on too if you wish; The impact on performance is not high, and it is good to have a second tier of defense, especially if you are using a mobile laptop computer, which connects to the Internet on the go.
