Recently Zone Alarm is blocking all of my internet access. If I leave the computer on for a long period of time(>6 hours), zone alarm will block all internet connection w/o notifying me. If I restart the computer or turn off ZA i get internet back. I have the free of of ZA. any suggestion?
both my firewall (zonealarm) and my viruscan software (macafee) just stopped working, and i can no longer get acces to the internet or scan for viruses or block anything. and it wont let me restore any of my old registries either. anyone know what happened or hot i might fix the problem?

I am attempting to get a Zonet wireless 802.11g PCI Adapter work in my desktop with little success. I have wireless loptop presently working through a Linksys Router. I copied the internet settings to a jump drive and transfer it to the desktop. The desktop wireless icon showed that it made connection but when i tried to go online using IE IT ALWAYS show web page not found. Is there some other setting in internet Option or elsewhere that is suppose to be change or set for the adapter to get on line. Using the ethernet card in the desktop i can access the internet easily. but the wireless.... this is my sad story
I have four computers on a LAN (Local Area Network)Three of them are on Windows XP Professional, the other is in Windows 2000 Yesterday, The Windows 2000 system ceased connecting to the internet. I went and checked all of the TCP/IP Information in it and I can find nothing wrong with it. About fifteen minutes later my XP ceased connecting to the net, I checked all info there and as far as I can see there is nothing wrong with my system settings nor hardware.
I just finished a complete reinstall of Windows XP. Before the re-installation, I partitioned the hard drive. I want the basic Windows XP system files and drivers on my "C" drive and then I want to accumulate data files (word processing, spreadsheets, photos, music files, etc.) on the new partition which in this case has been labeled the "G" drive. The difficulty I am having is getting getting the "Documents and Settings" to move over to the "G" drive. So that when I want to load photographs from my camera to the computer it goes for C:Documents and SettingsMy NameMy DocumentsMy Pictures. Instead I would like it to go to G:Documents and SettingsMy NameMy DocumentsMy Pictures. Using Windows Explorer I changed the file name of "My Documents" to 'Windows XP old path My Documents" and then I was going to set up a new path to the "G" drive through Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Managment>Disk Management.
However I noticed that when I clicked on Start in the bottom left hand corner and it puts up that little window that "My Documents" which was listed now had the new title 'Windows XP old path My Documents' which I believe means I haven't gotten to the proper place to change the main configuration for Documents and Settings. Long way of saying how do I change the basic configuration for where Document and Settings are stored to a new location.
With a new laptop tried to install and run Zonealarm but in vain. Then i deleted windows xp home edition firewall but still i download zorealarm but it doesnot work. Also i try to run ''Spywareblaster'' but it says:'run-time error 438: object doesn't support this property or method.'
I've been using Zone Alarm's firewall for several months now without a hitch. I turn on my computer today and get a Windows Security Alert notifying me that no firewall is detected even though it seems to be on. Is it something wrong with Windows or Zone Alarm? And how can I tell if Zone Alarm is actually in this case functioning?
i have used Zone Alarm almost since they have started. Unfortunatly they have been bought by Check Point an Israeli Company. If you get a notice to update say no. They have added what I call a VIRUS OF THE WORST KIND!!! It says your computer has an error and won't let you get on the INTERNET! I have tried everything. Reformatting my disk, reinstalling windows and leaving Zone Alarm out and it still comes back. I have tried almost evey ANTIVIrus on the Internet plus almost every Spyware. I righclicked on it and Notepad came up and said that it has intwined itself in Bellsouth DSL Software so I can't get to the Internet. I reinstalled Bellsouth and for a short time I can get to the Internet like now. BE very careful. Bellsouth has a security suite that allows me to get to the Internet, But I can't go to more than one site and I have to Reboot. It also fouled up my Printer even with the Bellsouth Security Suite and I had to remove my printer and Rinstall it. CAUTION!!! I also deleted it out of the Registry and it came back!
Windows XP Home Edition.I had the free Zone Alarm edition installed and working for some considerable time.I did uninstall it with the uninstall procedure.Now I have downloaded the free Zone Alarm program again but when I go to intall this my pc shuts down.
You actually have a 5th, hidden, security zone in your IE6 Internet options->Security->Zones know as "My Computer". Yep, you can protect yourself from your own system. It's normally kept hidden on purpose because the average user doesn't need to lock down their system THAT tight. But if you're a regular here, you're not that average. One other possible reason (just a guess) is that it might help stop the spread of trojans and bad ActiveX controls. HKEY_CURRENT_USERS ....
I have xp home, and have Zone Alarm.I have been getting this message come up quite often, which I deny, because I can't find out anything about it. does anyone know what it is and should I allow or deny it please? The only thing I can find out is that it 'could be potentially malicious
I know you can use the net time command to sync a PC's time with another PC, but what about setting the time zone and daylight saving time? Can these settings be changed from a command prompt
I suppose I became bored(or stupid) but I decided to give Windows Live One Care a try. I like the idea that it has a two way firewall.I've tried Zone Alarm, but it's just too much trouble! Any opinions on this? I haven't read anything on this forum one way or the other. It has a 90 day free trial, so if I don't like it I can always reinstall my Avast,which I was having NO trouble with.
I have my winXP firewall enabled and at the same time, zonealarm. Will it have a conflict? Do I need to disable WinXP firewall? Or can I have the two running at the same time?
Though not being a computer professional or expert, wish to state that for many years I have been using ZoneAlarm Free version as my Firewall software. Recently tested the Kerio software and realized Kerio better in appearance, presentation, uncomplicated etc. and the best is the easiness in creating rules. In Kerio you could create Firewall rules straight away from the connection prompt. I am using the free version of Kerio.With best regards, Brother Brock.
Can anyone suggest a free firewall for Windows XP? I have used ZoneAlarm for years but recently have been having a lot of problems with "server not found" and am sick and tired of rebooting everytime I want to get on the net.
I run off XP and have Free ZoneAlarm Firewall installed. No problem up until today, but after an XP download upgrade, could not get internet access. Removed ZA and used Windows Firewall and no problem. Reinstalled ZA and no access, so now back to MS Firewall.
I am currently running the free version of ZoneAlarm so that I can use the firewall. I am getting a blocked message that indicated that the firewall blocked something that seems to be coming from my cable internet provider.
My housemate had a terminal case of unprotected windows, i sorted his machine out (spybot, adaware, regclean, avast!, zonealarm, mst defrag, mbm5 - as was overheating prevoiously - sorted now).Now the system sometimes hangs after zonealarm requests access for a MS process.I am also getting an error i don't understand, not sure if its anything to do with the first problem; The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport DeviceNetBT_Tcpip_{B31AE179-7318-4162-86B6-D25BF39A9BD9}.
I updated ZoneAlarm. Now, my XP machine will not bootstrap normally. I see the BSOD go by, but, it vanishes so quickly, I can't read it. I downloaded a tool that claims to read the minidump file, but, it's empty, so no help. How can I view the vanishing BSOD?
I am working on my friend's computer which is running Windows XP Home edition on a Compaq Predario computer with 512 MB ram and 160 GB hard drive and AMD Athlon 2.16 GHz CPU. I was trying to install Zone Alarm but get the message that I don't have permission to use the Add/Remove Windows Components. I need to log on as administrator but don't know how. My friend has three user accounts (Mom, Kelsey and ******** Account). None of them use passwords so I doubt if any administrator account has one but I can't figure out how to log on as administrator. I tried accessing the .exe file in Windows Explorer but when I did I got the message: C:DOCUME~1MOM~1YOULOCALS~1TempVSINIT.dll. You probably are missing a necessary root certificate.
My sister tells me that after receiving a Windows update about a week ago, Zone Alarm stopped allowing access to the Internet. She uninstalled it and went to ZA website. They told her to download a new version that would compensate for the Windows update. She did, but it slowed her computer quite a bit. She also says that it interrupts Outlook Express from time to time.
my computer for some reason thinks I'm in the Atlantic (Canada) time zone (GMT -4.00 hrs.). That's what I had to set it to to get it to sync to the correct time. Fact is, I'm in the Eastern time zone (Delaware, to be exact) which is GMT -5.00 hrs.
All of a sudden I can not download any programs, music files etc. I just get the above message in my Mozilla Firefox download screen. The same thing happened when I tried Internet Explorer.
I am running Windows XP and using Firefox 3.0.1. The problem is that Download blocked by Security Zone Policy, I have gone into the Internet section of control panel and reduced the zone protection to the minimum. I have turned the firewall in McAfee off. These actions did not have any effect. I am not aware of any other program on my computer that would cause this to happen. I use Sypware Doctor, but I disabled that also. My computer is set to load Windows updates automatically and that would be the only software updated I might have loaded.
I keep getting asked by ZA firewall to allow access to programs I have repeatedly "allowed" in the past, i.e. "Firefox is trying to access the internet..." I read in a forum that I have to allow for more time during shut down for XP to save all my settings but I can't find that ..
