I love Zone Alarm, do you?

[Nocturnal]

It actually stops things before they connect. I love it. RealPlay has been trying to call home all morning. A big phat denial is what it got from me. Anyways, I really like Zone Alarm and regret ever stop using it when I last reformatted.

I didn't use it until recently when I found out I could get it for free from school. I've been testing it out on my computers at home for the last couple weeks and found it to be very useful. I even noticed some inbound traffic that was a little whack that needs further investigation on my part. All in all, I like it. I'll have to try the newest version, v5.0 I believe, when my school makes the update available to us.

No.

Our WiFi router's firewall works just fine.

It slows the connection down too much for my tastes.

I use it to keep stuff from going out of my PC

I didn't use Zone Alarm until that most recent exploit that attacked port 445. It was failing to connect to my machine but was leaving dozens of timed out connections. I think the timed out connections were affecting me, so I installed zone alarm to prevent them from even getting that far.

i have no need for a outbound firewall protector. i don't understand what if anything would call out. I have no viruses, no adware, no malware, it's clean. The programs i use don't call back.

Uninstall Real.

What are 3-4 applications to use instead of Real?

There were 1 or 2 different realplayer codecs floating around the web. Once you have a realplayer codec registered into your system, you can play the files with any video player. Well, that is supposedly how it works, I never bothered to test it though because I don't view realplayer files very often anymore.

Software firewalls suck.

I've had trouble with ZA on 3 seperate PC's running W2K. It would invariably mess up the internet connection entirely for some reason or another. I've never had a problem with Kerio on any machine.

Kerio > ZA.

 

[Mandos]

I hate Zone Alarm. It slowed down my connection quiote a bit. And I pay money for broadband to use it. I used ZA for like a week on my wifes comp before I uninstalled it. I never ran one on my machine. I'm very peculiar, particular and so forth when it comes to my machine. Noone touches it but me. Noone

 

[xchangx]

One thing that bothered me was that it kept popping up and asking stuff. Want to upgrade? Fine, I'll do that. Want to download the update? Want to install? Need to restart. Then I have to go through the whole registration and setup process again.

That's when I uninstalled it.

ZoneAlarm sucks.

firewall, ewww. my internet is pretty damned slow as is, no thx

 

[Fingolfin269]

What's another good outbound protecting firewall? I have a hardware router that is protecting my inbound but I'm paranoid about stuff leaving my PC. No, I'm not the only one who uses my PC and that's the precise reason I currently use ZA.

 

[Anubis]

i use Kerio and i love it, its alot like ZA but IMO its better
