ZoneAlarm ver 5.0.590.015
Suggest you consider thoroughly before you install this. There are many
reports about problems. I have had 3-4 myself and have gone back to ver 4.5.594.000. 1. Doesn't remember which tab you were in when you X out of the window. 2. Downloading becomes iffy! Seems to interfere with the Microsoft download window. 3. Can't get the latest NAV updates from their web site because of #2 4. Doesn't recognize some of the AntiVirus programs (sort of like XP-SP2) -- Regards: Richard Urban aka Crusty (-: Old B@stard :-) |

ZoneAlarm ver 5.0.590.015
The biggest issue I noticed was that McAfee had to be totally uninstalled to
install this version of ZoneAlarm. I am not willing to do that. "Richard Urban" wrote in message ... Suggest you consider thoroughly before you install this. There are many reports about problems.

You are quite right. This version of ZA is full of bugs. Caused numerous
crashes on my system. Uninstalled it and went back to v 4.5 but found that the "real time protection" mode of my eTrust EZ AV program was permanently disabled. I had to use XP's system restore utility to get things back to normal. "Richard Urban" wrote in message ... Suggest you consider thoroughly before you install this.

No problems here for me....I have been running that version since it came
out. I am running ZA pro though. You didn't mention if it was pro or not. Craig "Richard Urban" wrote in message ... Suggest you consider thoroughly before you install this.

The latest ZoneAlarm says it won't install until I remove PC-cillin, and PC-cillin says it won't install unless I remove ZoneAlarm. Guess I'll have to stick with the older ZA unless someone has a work-around. |

Craig I've started my third day here with the free version, STILL no problems at all either. Using Norton AntiVirus 2002 and a DSL connection to the internet. Being I only have one computer, I do not have a router however. -- Albert Sims West Monroe,Louisiana |

Downloading becomes iffy! Seems to interfere with the Microsoft download window. Both 5.x releases still interfere with things badly and they havent properly fixed it yet.

It works well for me after installing version 5.0.590.043 before that I
had problems with defrag and chkdsk, not anymore. Joan Interrogative wrote: Both 5.x releases still interfere with things badly and they havent properly fixed it yet. Unable to use any 5.x version here and I paid for it! |

My Zone Alarm Pro, daily prompts me to update, but,
one day it offers ver 5.0.590.015, the next day ver 5.0.590.043. then back to 5.0.590.015. (when it decides which one is correct I will.....?) "Joan Archer" wrote in message ...

which is 5.0.590.043. Taff.......
