I would stick with NIS.
In a healthy computer, NIS does not degrade performance. There are some who
claim otherwise, but it has been my experience in deploying NIS for many
years that is does not slow the computer. What many purport to be a
"slowdown" is when opening Word Documents, Excel files or PowerPoint
presentations; these are scanned by NAV upon opening them, and if the file
is large, this can take several seconds. You can turn this feature off, and
the system should behave normally.

I have used both ZoneAlarm (the free version and the paid) and NPF. NPF is
a much better product.
