Thread: problems

Kaspersky as an Antivirus is good, I was talking about its built in firewall.

Ok....will download & install Zone Alarm today...will see how it works....
What abt Sygate Firewall ?? Is it good....

Don't know, never tried it. I never had any problem with Zone Alarm. Don't forget to put it in stealth mode after installing.

Kaspersky is the second best Antivirus software and Zone Alarm is the Best Firewall software.

How to put in the Stealth Mode ?

Go to the firewall option and there is a bar for internet security if you set it at high it will show status as stealth mode.

I mean this one. Pull the slider to High and that will activate Stealth mode.

Which version of ZoneAlarm are u taking abt.....Version 7 or 8.
I think u must be talking abt version 7....
Becos i installed version 8.0.020.000 & i dint find anything like Stealth mode & even the screenshot u provided was different from what I see in the installed one.

I use ZoneAlarm version:7.0. I didn't know there was a free version 8.0. Are you using the free version of the program ?

This is the screen shot of the professional version. Is your setting something similar.



You might want to set it to medium when downloading a torrent.

i installed version 8. Its free...
Y'day i saw a ZoneAlarm version 7 in download.com....Its around 44 Mb....& even the screensht provided in that site was same as u provided.
Will download it today & see...

Did you see the screenshot does your version look similar to this.

the one I installed (version 8) dont look like the screenshot u provided.
Will install the version 7 today....

& just to add some information kaspersky's built in firewall is good enough & is better than zonealarm free version(not pro)in my opinion.free versions are always weaker compared to pro versions of any firewall.

Check for the screenshot in the 3rd post of this thread....What is the reason for that....it the kaspersky firewall good enough....???

if you are using za the you should be aware of the internal system processes, because it will pop up alerts every second so if you dont know these things then then there is no point in using it, there is a auto learn mode which gives less pop up but it will block a lot of programs tooo

i dint get your point..... what pop up are you talking abt.

Zone Alarm does show a pop up like this when an application try to connect to internet.



But you can select the 'Remember this setting' and click Allow or Deny.

Just give it a try.
