For me it was the latest Opera browser, just to see if it lives upto the hype.

Version 6 of ZoneAlarm. And a rollback to version 5.
Regardless of the discussion about the sense or nonsense of a desktop firewall, I used this as a kind of bouncer to prevent unsolicited data streams ("calling home") of applications the easy way.
WELL! This version 6 is seriously bugged!
It never really finishes the installation process, so every reboot it starts an installation process which goes straight into nirvana, lagging the whole machine to a crawl. After that it tries to access the network (that's not even started yet) and laggs again.
So I deinstalled the thing, had to kill some files with bare hands and reinstalled the old version 5.
What a waste of time. :/
