Don't know. It seems very intrusive in its effort to prevent
keyboard highjacking or whatever. But I can see the delay
between my pressing a key and its appearance on the screen
(and the release of the keyboard for the next stroke).

  i'll agree on the slowing things down part... any additional

It's not an ordinary slowing down. It's a chewing up of
50% or more of the system resources for substantial
periods of time. Task Manager shows this.

The crashing is somewhat better since one of the (unasked for)
updates; but it started after a previous one of the updates.

It claims to prevent spyware from loading.

I'm doubting that there's any spyware interfering with ZA.
Pretty sure that Juno and OCLC Connexion, both fairly reliable
products in themselves, are incompatible with ZA.

I use Spy Sweeper, Spybot, and Ad-Aware for the spyware. Seldom
find anything, although when I was looking for some relatively
dodgy information, I did get an explorer bar loaded: forget what
it was, but it seemed fairly easy to get rid of.
