Stick with ZA free version and continue using other free programs such as Spy Bot, Ad-Aware, CWShredder, etc. There are more free pop up blockers around than you count. Or, use Firefox 1.0 which has a built in pop up blocker. The Pro version of ZA is OK for a year (I think it's still $35.00?) but after that will nag you to purchase a follow on subscription. If you don't purchase a follow on subscription, it reverts to the free version. The AV program included with ZA Pro is from CA eTrust (which has been given a very poor overall rating). You would actually be better off using the free AVG or AVAST both of which are rated higher. Your choice of course.
