The first is Pentium Mobile / 512 RAM machine, desktop is Core 2 Duo / 2048 RAM. I guess that is the reason why I have no problems with performance. :-) I can't tell you exactly CPU utilization and RAM usage, but it seems to be OK for me.

I checked it in the past. It looks good, but system performance degradation was an issue, as I can recall. As I use a laptop, it's important to keep system usage at minimum, or otherwise my batteries go off quickly. Outpost simply took too much CPU. The positive side was its clean GUI that I liked better than of ZoneAlarm Pro, which is somewhat comparable in price and provides slightly better protection. Dael, thanks for the suggestion!

I prefer to use last one. Especially in case of security questions. Look at <a href="http://www.agnitum.com/products/security-suite/index.php" rel="nofollow">Agnitum Outpost Security Suite</a>. It's effective, easy to use combination of firewall, anti-virus, anti-spam, anti-spyware engines. Really effective and user-friendly. You mom gonna like it. :-) Well, it’s a trucky question - what to choose, freeware or commercial software. I prefer to use last one. Especially in case of security questions.
