Minas Tirith | Hmmmmm.... When I upgraded to 5, I noticed that, although I had told it not to contact zone labs, it tried to. And as I've had other issues with 5, I uninstalled it.
4.5 doesn't have this problem. I've had no problems there so that is where I am right now. |

| I never liked ZoneAlarm I never trusted that program from the day it came out. I will allways use a hardware firewall. |
|
| Well, in all honesty I will stick with Kerio 2.15 I see really no other firewall that I need besides it at this point. How can you guys even compare Zone alarm to Kerio for that matter? With Kerio you control what is going in and out, bottom line!
Ditch the ZoneAlarm newbie firewall and go with something a little more advanced such as Kerio 2.15
Nuff said 
And come on, comparing windows firewall to Kerio? There is no comparison, Kerio eats the windows firewall for lunch and then spits it back out and laughs.
Come on guys, you guys that know about packets, filtering, networking protocols and the such should be able to see that Kerio or Outpost is by far superior to windows firewall for Zone Alarm.
Zone Alarm is meant to be a newbie firewall, simple at that. Remember that next time you get hacked and you wish you installed and was running a hardware firewall or Kerio with proxomotron. |

Will that hardware firewall let you block a particular piece of software from phoning home?

Yes but it doesn't have that problem. I'm using a cisco firewall. |

| I like Cisco You can be extremely strict with what you want to let out or in as with any application. I would say you can deny that program from phoning home pretty easily even with a software firewall if you know what you are doing. |
