Your sure about that, What OS are you on??

All Zone Alarm runs is 5,000k for Zlclient.exe, that wont hang your pc, well shouldnt do if it meets the min requirement...

You can try:

Jetico Personal Firewall http://www.jetico.com/index.htm#/jpfirewall.htm

SoftPerfect Personal Firewall http://www.softperfect.com/products/firewall/

Wyvern Firewall 2004
http://www.wyvernworks.com/firewall.html

For tiny firewalls, they do the job and should be quite light.

I doubt ZA is hanging your pc at start up, Go start > run > msconfig, click on the start up tab and tell me whats there(in XP that is).

sunbelt kerio firewall is great and free too.Download the pro trial and when the trial is up it runs in free mode which has all the basics you need and more.It's not a ram hog either.
