Please explain the free version of Pro !

Sorry. I'm used to call ZA "pro". From now on I'll call it "free". In any
case it is fairly simple and not bloated which was the point of the thread. It's all you need for a good firewall, maybe the best for the individual user. As I said like all developers ZA labs is adding stuff to the firewall program including an anti-virus module. I don't plan on using that as it is not free. -- Regards, Werner Remove "Nospam" when e-mailing "UncleFrank" wrote in message ... Please explain the free version of Pro ! "Bullwinkel J.

I thought you were technically correct given it's a common download now and
you have to choose which to install during setup. One supposes that Free is now a crippled version of Pro. I may be wrong. Shane "Bullwinkel J. Moose" wrote in message ... Sorry.

As I said in another post, I may be just a tad old-fashioned, but I've never liked "all-in-one" apps or hardware. By hardware I mean combo printer/fax/copy/etc. as when the appliance breaks, you lose ALL the features. Same applies to this type of "do everything/fix/everything/address everything" software. I suppose I compare it to having your auto water pump, alternator, power steering pump etc. as a single unit. If that existed, if it broke, you'd be stuck. But luckily, if only your, lets say, power steering pump broke at least you could still drive your car. Often I also wish there was a "stripped down" version of XP. ie the OS only. Would boot nice and quick. Perhaps all I, and others only want an OS for the Internet and some basic word processing. Where is my Windows Lite? How about a $49 basic OS MS? -- http://www.bootdisk.com/ |

Have been using Zonealarm -- free for about 4 -5 years. I quit updating it
because there were always fixes being made. The "Free" version, as has been said before, is adequate for most users. "Shane" wrote in message ...

In ,
Plato |@|.| typed: As I said in another post, I may be just a tad old-fashioned, but I've never liked "all-in-one" apps or hardware. By hardware I mean combo printer/fax/copy/etc. as when the appliance breaks, you lose ALL the features. Same applies to this type of "do everything/fix/everything/address everything" software. I completely agree with you when it comes to hardware. If one component of a printer/scanner/fax combo breaks, you have to replace the entire unit. But I think it's an entirely different matter when it comes to software. First of all, software doesn't "break" and need to be replaced the way hardware does. If something in the software fails to work properly, the manufacturer will often patch and repair it. And if some feature doesn't work properly, that doesn't mean that other components of the software are therefore useless. To me, the major disadvantage of multi-purpose software is that the component applications are often (but not always) light-weight and not as robust as separate alternatives. Moreover if you buy a multi-purpose package, you lose the ability to pick and choose features in applications you like in one vendor's product line and others in another vendors'. For example, I prefer Corel WordPerfect to Microsoft Word, but Excel to Quattro Pro. Unfortunately, my preferences here make for an expensive mix of products if I have to buy both Office suites. -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup |

I do agree about the added features, I much prefer to pick my own AV to
use. I do run ZA Pro the paid version but don't intend using the bundled with AV ones. Joan Bullwinkel J. Moose wrote: Sorry. I'm used to call ZA "pro". From now on I'll call it "free".

With all the comments I still recommend you download the patch to ".043".

ZoneAlarm ver 5.0.590.015
I prefer Kerio 2.1.5, but due to Sygate crashing in ME I tried ZA again
(which for a long time caused problems in ME). Now I use ZA (free) in 98se and on one ME box (still Kerio 2.1.5 on XP - though there may be issues with SP2). The problems with *fixes* is knowing whether they're critical or bloat. Of course, one places significant trust in one's firewall and *should* (ideally) assume that all updates *are* critical. But, yes, I use ZA Free. But recent versions are a common download and you select either Pro or Free during installation. Never having installed Pro I don't know if it then downloads extra files, but doubt it. I'll grant that *crippled* was probably a little strong. *Disabled*. Shane "Slotrot" wrote in message ...
