uninstall them

1. avg anti-virus - the program affects many programs; like foobar, internet explorer...
   
   
2. windows live mail - even introduces new functions fitting today's usage, but it sucks for normal use; i.e. always cannot connect to mail server.
   

new update of zonealarm

finally zonelabs provided a new update for its product. the update was fine compared to the last one. but it shows how trouble the program is. this program controls default output volume of speaker (don't know how the hell is related). before the update, i need to tune the volume every time i log in my windows... and now active virus shield (avs) is down. even aol has given up avs (should be the deal between them & kaspersky is over), zonealarm should not get rid of my avs which still has valid license. now i need to use back avg.
