Why don't you revert to the Windows Firewall?

But, I have read of so many problems in these newsgroups caused by
ZoneAlarm.
Why/what do you need to know about a good running application?

That is a good guess on your part. He believes registry cleaners solve
everything.

Perhaps your registrty cleaner fixed the problem before you used system
restore.

Now that's funny I don't care who you are!!!

Just when you thought someone had cut his fingers off he shows back up :-(

Presumably because he wants to monitor and control outbound traffic.

Why don't you revert to the Windows Firewall?

It doesn't say anything when programs acsess the net.
I like to keep a track on what programs access the net.
(I know malware CAN bypass that, but my A-V and spyware
program cleans those away, but I still like to keep an
eye on the other programs).

I also have a NAT-router with a hardware FW, so I really don't need a
firewall if it comes to that. And I started using the 4.5 ZA instead
of the Windows FW because I liked it better one time..

Why/what do you need to know about a good running application?

It's not always that I want all Windows-services and other legal
program to connect to the net (or even more act as a server).

And I'm interreseted in seeing what programs actually access the net
(you would be surprised that many programs that really have no need to
access the internet still tries to do that for some reason

if you think that ougoing messages are the only worry, then you need to do
more learning about how malicious software operates, ie trojans, keyloggers,
and etc.
Usually they don't send messages, but contact a remote website and send data.
usually your most important data, ie your banking password, logons for
websites, id data and much others.

Why bother to point that out when I implied as much in my earlier post?

Just looked at your earlier post and it didn't imply anything at all.

I don't have any of those problems. I don't know anyone using ZoneAlarm and
none have any of the problems you mention.
It's probably fear causing people to use ZoneAlarm.
