Luckily, 2.6.362 seems to be a very solid firewall, so no big problems
running it all day long.
A quick search finds one issue,"trojan that can issue key commands," in a
forum thread starting here:
http://news.hping.org/comp.security.firewalls.archive/2351.html
I ran my v6.1.737 through Steve Goodman's Shields Up:
https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
And found the new ZA isn't blocking pings, even though its docs say it's
supposed to.
Wonder how 2.6.362 goes through that test.
I may download LeakTest ( http://www.grc.com/lt/leaktest.htm ) and test it
on this new and old versions of ZA if I can find a trustworthy copy of the
old.

2.6.362 comes in both free and pro versions (in fact, every ZA after
that
comes in at least two verisons, free & pro - latest ones have added more).
You
can simply download and use the free version for as long as you want
forever.
With software addressing security, it always seems best to get copies from
the vendor's websites. I haven't found any 2 copies of 2.6.362 from
different sites that match.
One way to take the 'bootup' delay out of your life is to enable
HIBERNATION
and do that all the time. It's a lot quicker, and I'm in and out of
Windows
fast if I ever need to do it.
I frequently have problems with little aspects of Windows not functioning
properly after coming out of hibernation requirely rebooting anyway.
