ZoneAlarm ver 5.0.590.015
Well you without problems are lucky. I have had many problems with it and
was advised by ZA's tech support to go back to version 4. It caused problems with Norton's email protection, an HP printer driver, chkdsk, and who knows what else. I know on 3 of my machines, all running either XPP or XP Home I had identical problems. So those who have experienced no problems are lucky. Sorry if these things have been said before but I can't seem to find the start of this thread to follow it sequentially. So if it hadn't been said I wanted to make sure others were aware of these downfalls with version 5. "FrankV" wrote in message ... Latest ZA Pro version 5.0.590.043 works as it should. I have no problem. Frank "Interrogative" wrote in message ... "Richard Urban" wrote in message ... 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. Yes it does. They actually have preset that it goes back to the one window, when I reported that it wasnt working right. 2. 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. Unable to use any 5.x version here and I paid for it! |

That was what I was thinking, too. Not at all happy with the idea of the XP firewall as it is right now but then I am the type who likes to read logs! I got ZA primarily because you have total control including programs that want to send info out not just the stuff that's trying to get in. Particulary programs that want server permission. According to SP2 beta testers I've spoken to you can control programs that want to act as a server without having to have extensive knowledge of firewalls. It asks if you want to allow access much the way ZA does. -- Regards, Bob |
