I have ZA 9.2.102 (IMO, the last good ZA) on my w7 and XP machines.

About ten versions behind the times - which is probably why a
download is so hard to find. Anyone found a live link?

They wrote the operating system, you know.
They and the NSA know all about it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but seems to me that Avast's Firewall for

for Windows Firewall.

It doesn't have to have anything to do with the Windows Firewall.
Microsoft will simply disable the Avast firewall, then do whatever they
wish to your system. After all, they're keeping admistrative control
over W10 installations for that very purpose.

I don't see that happening. If it ever happens, I am going to think
about it.

I don't think that's their purpose.

Their purpose is to gradually move all of us to a RENT FOR EACH USE
option. Their reward for that is a steady predictable income. What Wall
Street likes and it has nothing to do with what we want or like.
