ZoneAlarm

Well, recently, I downloaded ZoneAlarm from Zone Labs and I was very pleased with it's firewall abilities. Very nice piece of software, with many, many options availiable for use with it.

Good stuff

I have been running Zonealarm since it was advertised on Antionline news page..
Think its total count of crashes or failures stands @ 8 now.(thats not many in time frame)
Until recently i have liked it in everyway..But since now i need to use A.I.M to chat to some friends from here(I.R.C Gone :()It has crashed Zonealarm 3 times in last 2 days..
I read that topic on Zips appearing when "a.i.m" had crashed on somebody but nothing like that has shown up so i just take it A.I.M needs to be configured to a port and will work on that part....

OVERALL..ZONEALARM Is O.K

"Hog" cant get past it!!:cool: Just yet??

no...not yet. :cuss:


AIM doesn't always cause problems....for some people it works fine(like me) others have mounds of problems with it.

I also have zone alarm, and very much enjoy what it doing. I have been protected against netbios attacks as well as DoS attacks at my HTTP. I have had very very Few problems with the program crashing and would reccomend it to anyone thats needs a good free firewall, espeacially to newbies

I had many problems with zone alarm and could never find out why,so I erased it.
It's clearly that it's a good product though,for many users.

I agree with you guys zonealarm is an excellent product and it is free what more could one want...

The only problem i have had with it is whn i go to irc , then i have to lower the security settings to medium until it gets connected and then i can raise it up again.

It's free and it works, I mean i've never had that problem with IRC, I mean i can get on the antionline icr chat and still have it set at high security

Quandasar: what IRC program are you using?

I am using IrcN the newest version , i dont remember the release numer though ...
Any ideas ?

I just d/led IrcN and it worked fine for me...very strange - couldn't find anything on ZoneAlarm's site nor anywhere else on the internet.
