Check Point to Celebrate 15th Anniversary by Giving Away ZoneAlarm Pro SoftwareWritten by Paul Lilly 11/17/08 at 08:18:19 AM
Given the widespread availability of free solutions, we know how power users hate to pay for security software. If you fall into this category, your options will become slightly more robust this Tuesday, November 18.
According to a spattering of reports, a company spokeswoman for Check Point said the company plans to celebrate its 15th anniversary by giving away a 1-year subscription to its ZoneAlarm Pro software security suite. For those not familiar with the program, ZoneAlarm Pro expands on the company's popular firewall solution by throwing in a spyware remover, protection against rootkits, ID theft protection, and other security odds and ends. The full program typically sells for $40/year.
If the reports hold true, you can download your copy from this link beginning at 6:00 AM US PDT time (8 AM Central) Tuesday morning. Procrastinators be warned, the link will only stay active for 24 hours.

Microsoft announced today that Vista's Service Pack 1 would now give all pirate copies of Vista a free upgrade to full authentication. When asked about it at the big AIDS conference lately, Bill replied, "Hey, I'm just a generous guy!"
Devastating as this was to the it's competitors, Ubuntu developers announced they would pay anyone installing their OS a dollar.

I installed SP1 on a Vista Business machine with ZoneAlarm Security Suite, and my VPN (Microsoft client) do not work anymore...I contacted both Microsoft (SP1 upgrade helpdesk ) and ZoneLabs and got two nice answers: according to both sources, SP1 and ZoneAlarm are not compatible with one another with respect to VPN connections. ZoneLabs says it is MS that disrupted their interface, and. MS says that the changes they made were not sufficiently taken into account by ZoneLabs.

I installed ZoneAlarm Firewall and after that my PC stopped responding. I`m using my PC in safe mode. And when I turn it on on normal mode, my PC loads and then it stops responding. I can`t use System Restore because System Protection is turned off.

I currently run Zonealarm Security Suite on my XP Pro machine, and I love it. After a week or so it is totally passive and it catches everything. I paid 10 for a license key on ebay 2 years ago for $10 and I still have 58,000 days left until it expires. Best of all, it leaves an un-noticeable footprint on my machine.
I have 2 AMD 64 4200 Dual Core machines. I recently installed Vista Ultimate 64 on one of them to see how it goes. Unfortunately, Zonealarm won't work on Vista 64. I don't like paying for Security programs but I am not entirely sure free ones up to the task.
I don't trust Microsoft with its firewall, defender, or live one care (They can barely build an operating system let alone defend or ensure it runs properly). Everyone who has ever asked me for PC help usually has McAffee or Norton. McCaffee (at least in my experience with other users) consistently fails to protect a machine, not to mention bogs down the system. Norton 2005 was a decenet product but everything after that seems to be garbage same as Mcaffee. is there a Zonealarm alternative out there for Vista 64

I have a HP Pavillion dv6000 laptop computer. HP Total Care Advisor tells me only 4% is free on drive C. I ran disk defragmentation, disk cleanup, and uninstalled a good amount of programs I no longer use. It did not do anything. Once and awhile I get a prompt in the bottom right corner saying that I have low disk space. When I click on it it wants to run disk cleanup which does absolutely nothing. How do I free up space and make my computer perform the best it can?

I am trying to install an electronic edition of Britannica. Previously, it took about 10 minutes, using 2 CDs on XP Pro.
I did a major upgrade for but did not replace my DVD, CD, Power Supply, or Floppy.
My board is an Intel DG33FB
My chip is an Intel Core 2 Dual (e4500)
I have 2 GB DDR 667 and one mal-partitioned SATA drive. The Vista portion has 167 GB.
Today, it took aver three hours to copy merely 329 MB of data onto the other partition using my HP 940i DVD writer. the program was not even half done, BTW I got several gray-out screens in the process. I could not do any other work because the darn machine hung.

for messages that I am sending to reach their destination. I sent myself a test message to see how long it would take to receive it and I got it 12 hours later. This is happening to other people that I am sending messages to. What can I do to correct this as this is very frustrating. I have no problem receiving mail from anyone else.

The information you've sent me, it looks like your network stack is being reset approximately every two hours. As the stack is rebuilt, various pieces of information about network become available over time. As each piece becomes available, NIS it treats the new result as a new network, that's why you get a few network discovery events over a relatively short period of time. It also explains why you see occasionally slow network traffic; the network stack is being rebuilt.What I don't understand is why the network stack is being reset. This doesn't seem like anything malicious but may be due to faulty hardware on your machine or, more likely, some scheduled program or task running on your machine. It could also be due to plugging certain devices into a USB port.I have NOTHING plugged into usb, no self installed software running and this is a 3 month old machine. The only thing plugged in (through ethernet) Is my vonage V-Portal wich I use for voip

After a few hours, I killed it. No errors, but no movement. Seems like a waste. I was only testing the conversion of an 8mg .AVI file.

I'm presently experiencing a situation in which my Internet connection (cable Internet) will suddenly and inexplicably come to a complete halt. This has absolutely nothing to do with my actual cable Internet connection; everything with the cable modem is functioning perfectly. Instead, just about every 24 hours I will reach a point in which my desktop system (Windows Vista Ultimate) will simply shut itself off from the Internet. I have absolutely no idea what is causing this. In the past, I have been able to go to the Network control panel and simply perform a repair of my Internet connection. This no longer works. However, restarting the system works 100% of the time. So basically I'm left with a system that functions for approximately 24 hours, then it must be restarted in order for me to continue using the Internet. Then of course the cycle repeats itself. I'm not using any third party firewall software by the way, only Vista's firewall.

Installed Vista 64 Home Premium SP1 OEM on Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5, and the computer immediately began to download and install 40 updates via "auto update". These updates did not affect the operability of Vista, HOWEVER the 2nd group of "updates" (there were like 4-5) completely disabled my onboard NIC drivers and I could no longer connect to the internet. There were no updated NIC drivers on the Gigabyte website for the motherboard. I used "System Restore" but the system would not allow the NIC drivers to be reinstalled.
This is TOTALLY unacceptable when you are obligated to download "Auto-Updates" and then they require a complete reinstall of the OS to repair the damage caused by the "Update". I was forced to completely reinstall Vista 64 SP1. I allowed the first 40 updates to install, then I disabled "auto updates". Anyone else have this problem? Unfortunately, I was unable to determine exactly which module created the problem - but I tried "uninstalling" the top five "updates" on the "installed updates" list but could not get the system to allow the NIC drivers to initialize/install.

I guess I kind of receive email - about every two days or so. It went from a quick easy operation to agonizingly slow...I can only receive email occasionally and it waits in the outbox for hours. I uninstalled McAfee, checked the servers (working fine for everyone but Vista me) checked the ports (correct). What's next? By the way this started suddenly. It worked perfect one day - not at all the next. Was there an update that caused this? Here's the message I get after one hour of trying to use email: Socket Error: 10060, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E zimmer.csufresno.edu

I am trying to copy files from my usb hard drive: K: to my network external drive Z:
I am trying to copy everything from one to another (files in folders and files that are not in folders)
I tried selecting all and then send to Z:, but it took about six hours to copy about 20 gig (I have about 180 gig to copy)
I read some where that robocopy is a faster and better way to copy files.The thing is I do not know what syntax to use. I was wondering if someone could tell me the syntax I should use to copy EVERYTHING from the usb driveK: to the network drive Z:

I am surprised at how Vista refuses to release memory. I have disabled Supercaching entirely, and still I find that free RAM drifts from 0 to 50MB quite regularly. Way back in the day, I used to use an app called CacheMan - it would prompt the system to release physical RAM back to the system. It worked very well. The folks who develop CacheMan are working on a Vista64 version, but it's not quite cooked yet.
I'm looking for recommendations on mechanisms to prompt the release of this RAM. The reason for this is that I am trying to troubleshoot occasional mouse lockups, which feel like the system's swapping. Unfortunately, my HDD LED isn't working and my hard drives are pretty much silent. So if the system is actually swapping, I have no way to know aside from keeping a PerfMon session running all the time. I see various shareware apps out there to release RAM on demand or on schedule - I'm looking for recommendations. Once CacheMan is ready for Vista I'll give that a go.

I need a free antivirus program that I can leave disabled and one that I don't have to disable everytime I start up the ol laptop. I'm using Vista and I have tried AVG, AntiVir, and Avast!, none of which will let me permanently disable on startup.I need an antivirus program (who doesn't?), but I do not need one running all the time.

It happens to everyone eventually. Your hard drive is suddenly full and you are left wondering where did all my free space go? Now you must begin the task of deleting old files and folders to reclaim space but where do you start? In the past I would suggest manually checking the sizes of all of your folders so you know where to begin the hunt but now there is a great utility called WinDirStat that does the work for you. After inspecting a drive you are shown exactly how much data is in each folder, what file types are taking up the most space and even a visual representation of the files on your disk....
