Let me first start off by saying, I've recently installed the Service Pack 2 for Windows XP and no problems. (yet) Anyways, with it, there is a firewall available. Is it safer than ZoneAlarm for example? I don't know if I can trust it.
View 10 RepliesThe first time I log in after I turn on my computer, I can't run anything that I have a shortcut for on the desktop, because it will freeze for a while. The reason for this is probably too many things starting with the computer at start-up.I regularly scan for spyware with Spybot, and rarely get anything. I also have ZoneAlarm as my firewall.

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor some reason zonealarm gives me the following pop-up every time I boot up my computer : ZoneAlarm Security Alert/Server Program/ Generic Host Process for Win 32 Services is trying to act as a server. Identification: None Application: svchost.exe Source IP: 0.0.0.0:Port 135 I click : "remember this setting" [or I used to] and it does NOT remember - it comes up every time.I've tried rooting around in Zonealarm to figure out how to turn this off - no luck. Any ideas folks????
View 5 Replies View RelatedI was browsing the internet and suddenly my internet stopped receiving packets and wouldn't work at all. So I restarted my computer and then as soon as I connected, ZoneAlarm appeared with a message saying:

Running win 2000 pro SP4. every time i reboot, certain program settings are lost. for example, my zonealarm settings are lost, and all program net access authorizations have to be re-authorized, when the programs attempt to connect to the net. It will not remember the "always use this answer" option, that you can check in zonealarm to keep from having to continue to re-authorize the program each time it is run. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI downloaded ZoneAlarm and Spybot S&D. Things worked ok until I got a little tired of all the ZA balloons popping up and went in to try to lessen the frequency of them. Afterwards, I got to where I couldn't access things that I had before the attempted change. I used "system restore" back to "pre-installation of ZA and Spybot". Things seem to be normal but I feel that I do need (i am told) of the protection that the two downloads offer. Now when I try to download ZA and Spybot and try to install from my desktop, a window appears saying that the install is corrupt.
How can I get a good install of each of these? If I can get them back, I'll just click the balloons off my screen, no matter how many times they appear. I do have a lot of posts prior to this one ( Re: Spyware Infection[in this section-3 to 4 days ago]). I am VERY computer challanged (as a few Moderators here know by now) so instructions need to be simple.
I am using eTRust EZ firewall and just recently started having problems with it and the effect on my pc. First, it wouldn't let me select allow or ask under the access internet or trusted column under the program control. Now, it won't let me access the internet if the program control is turned to low, medium, or high. The only way for anything to get to the internet is if the setting is turned off

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to solve this for quite some time now. I go into the control panel, firewall settings. On the first tab, you get to choose your firewall setting (on/on with exceptions/Off). All of my options are greyed out and I have no options to start the firewall.Clean computer (just spent the last 3 days debugging it). I am sure that it has something to do with what was downloaded by my son but even after cleaning up the computer to get rid of spyware, malware, trojans, backdoors, viruses, etc I am left with the same result.
View 11 Replies View RelatedA few days ago my windows firewall warning was on. While attempting to re-enable the firewall through the security center I received a message "we're sorry, the security center could not turn on windows firewall" and then told me to do it manually. Attempting to open the windows firewall gave me this message "Windows firewall settings could not be displayed because the associated service is not running. Do you want to start the windows firewall/Internet Connection sharing service? Yes/No.Clicking Yes, gives this message: "Windows cannot start the Windows firewall/Internet connection sharing (ICS) service." With no further explanation. I re-installed SP2 with no improvement.
View 7 Replies View RelatedLately i've been battling a virus infection with a w32.spybot.worm. Thanks to symantec antivirus corporate edition (which can detect but never repair) and microsoft antispyware software i've eliminated it. Yet today a new infection popped up from a file "eraseme_12604.exe" in my system32 (i dont know how it got there). I figured I might as well enable the XP firewall to prevent new infections from happening, but when i went to the firewall settings they were set to OFF, and all options (including the ability to turn it on) were greyed out. Did the virus modify my registry somehow and how can i remidy the situation. I am running windows XP prof with sp2
