ZoneAlarm Problem With Microsoft Update


Elton

Recommended Posts

Steve - as noted, you simply need to make sure you only have one software firewall running at any given time if you are connected to the internet and even then you are safe enough for a few minutes if you aren't browsing so

- download Windows OneCare

- close browser

- disable ZA

- install Windows OneCare

 

You can protect up to 3 PCs with a single license and having OneCare running on auto has done a perfect job of protecting all 3 of ours since we first installed it. I enjoy free stuff but I don't mind paying for this one.

Thanks, Newt.

 

As Peggy posted on the Non-Fishing Forum she was able to download the latest version of Zone Alarm and the problem seems to be solved.

Would I be right in assuming ZA is freeware?

Zone Alarm do a free version hoping that we'll upgrade to their other products such as their total security package. I was considering switching to this when my free trial of Norton Anti-Virus runs out. I may think again now!

 

BTW, Computer Active magazine rates Zone Alarm as a better firewall than the Windows one and it comes also out well in lots of reviews.

Never heard of windows 'one care' - what is it ?

Basically it is an all-in-one PC protection program from Microsoft. Official name is Windows Live OneCare

One of my grannie's old hairnets would have been better than Windows Firewall ;) Edited by corydoras

The problem isn't what people don't know, it's what they know that just ain't so.

Oh well, I found today that switching off Zone alarm was no longer enough, Ive just had to remove it comnpletely and am working on the Windows one. But as I said the test on Shields up gives it the ok.
