Default WinXP SP2 and ZoneAlarm

Don't listen to all the crackpots on CNET, Microsoft have declared there is
a problem with early versions of ZoneAlarm in conjunction with Win SP2 and
advise updating to ZoneAlarm 5.1 but if you want to stick with an outdated
FireWall then don't complain when the bottom drops out of your World.

Too All:

I am reposting this as apparently, I discovered another problem with
SP2 involving reformatting in Outlook Express. Hopefully, I have it
fixed now.

I just installed WinXP SP2 by way of the CD that I ordered for free
from MS. So far, the only problem that I have is with ZoneAlarm.

I am running ZA 4.5.594.000 as the reviews that I have read on the
latest version are unfavorable. I have been using ZA for about 3
years.

Instead of turning off part of the Security Center's facilities,
consider upgrading to ZoneAlarm Pro 5.1.011.000, which works very well
with the Windows Security Center right out of the box.

Don:

So what has been your experience with ZA 5.1.011.000 to date?

As I said in my earlier post post, I have been running ZA for about 3

years
and from the reviews (users) that I have read (at CNET), it sounds like I
should stick with 4.5.594.000. In the time that I have used ZA, I have

seen
when then come out with a new version that has lots of bugs.

Any additional comments are appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
