zonealarm is very good , BUT , use it with a second software security program , try www.finjan.com , ....talking about "pro-re-active' defense , .....

, it stops a load of things , even is rumoured to stop dns , .....

have a nice day

Are you sure you "marked" all your drives?
don't remember what the default settings were

I scanned all my internet drives

I only did not scan 2 drives; and I don't have any internet explorer or favorites stuff on them

I did every other scan.

what is dns.....

i can't get my grokster program to work with zonealarm on

i have to shut the firewall off to use this file transfer program

**zulu9812** · July 2, 2002, 20:48

that's wierd - grokster uses the same tech as kaZaA and that works fine withe ZA Pro (at least, it does with me)

DNS- denial of service.

I believe...

It can shut you out of websites.

**Solver** · July 3, 2002, 12:27

Denial of service is what he means here, but actually DoS is used for it. DNS is Domain Name Service, and is completely unrelevant.

As for teh question if Zone Alarm stops DoS attacks... ahh... who knows

hi ,

yes the meaning is denial of service , ...

zonealarm free can stop only up to a certain point , ...

what you really need to do is get multiple layers of security , ...

hard , costing handfulls of money , ....

NO

there is enough free software out there , and some lowpriced stuff that beats the most expensive any day , like zonealarm pro

also ask your provider to close some ports off , if you get a no , shop somewhere else !

get ADSL , why , well it very easy to get a cable network , they are made up of large appartment buildings , and its like to keep only the front door closed , .....

ADSL is like a house , with the door locked

you dont leave a car or a house with its doors open , so dont keep your comp open

you can also spend some money on hardware , but take an old comp , do some work , or some one to do so , it shall be low cost , ......and darn good ! > this like having a stainless steel door , ... one meter or three feet thick

many problems start with OEM configurations , stay away from them , or close the holes and ports that are put open , ....and talk behind your back , ...

example , older 1998-2000 OEM software from certain coNpac's has the ability to send a pdf file out , and you dont even know it

, imagine its your tax record or so , ....

Steve Gibson from www.grc.com learns everday more and more , and he aint alone , so there are solutions to most problem's

have a nice day , and remember , security starts where you want it

hi ,

why do you need grokster , ...

anything can connect , except if you say otherwise , ...

try uninstall , test if it goes , then get zonealarm again , and see what happens , if it does not go then , say so .

have a nice day

Could anyone explain why exactly people wanne look at this?

If you want to see mine, go ahead ( not much to see though

) , but i for one am Not going to install 7 or 8 firewalls and setup my old pc just to refrain some as*h*le from doing so

.
How many locks do you have on your door btw Panag??

hi ,

maybe you dont have something in your comp , or you think so , but for some people this is different !

no-one says that you have to install 7 or 8 security programs , and if you do , good luck , the will probably interfere with each other , ....

the idea for the old pc is this , some people go out and spend large sums on hardware to protect them , yet those people have an old pc standing in the basement or so , .... and with a bit of know-how you can make it into a hardware firewall , ....

howmany locks do you have , .......

a car as a lock on it , you can put an alarm in it , the same for a house the same for a comp , .....

and by the way , only one , .....with a magic banana key

the point is not leave your door unlocked , .....
and the second is , why would you let anyone use your information to make money from it , without you getting a buck or two from it , .... that is afterall the purpose of most spyware , .....

have a nice day

hi ,

send the Q to zonelarm , its strange , .....
maybe its the OS that has become unstable , could be many things , or that other program posses a thread , or something in it does not accept the use of ZA , there are programs like that , they dont want to be checked

send the Q to ZA

if they dont come up with a sollution that is acceptable , ask again

have a nice day
