The old zonealarm has been broken so if its the old 18 months version an update to the new v3 I think is in order. I myself like zone alarm not for the actual firewall part but for eacatly the noticed filtering of user specified attachments... My real firewall is a router and ip sharer... As it is unable to do reverse lookup to my system.... > Apart from that, ZA _can_ cause trouble.

One click as user on something you donot understand and all your internet access may be gone. Happened to a customer just after I left on a 2 day trip and I had to call a friend in and ask him to visit the guy and kill off zone alarm... -- Best regards, tracer Using theBAT 1.60j mail to : [EMAIL PROTECTED] C.C.S.
