Re: iggy's prior post explains some of this
Iggy, thanks for your fast response to this ZAF privacy concern. As mentioned earlier, I’ve been a ZAF user for many years and my only goal here is just to be clear on this issue.
I never noticed this EXCEPTION link in ZAF prior to Charles770 mentioning it yesterday. I guess I just never zeroed in on it before. I did check with a colleague who’s running ZAF 5.1.033.000 and yes it’s there. 
Just to make sure I didn’t miss something yesterday, this morning I did an uninstall & a clean ZAF install. The SET DATA GATHERING PERMISSIONS screen doesn’t seem to be an option when installing ZAF on my system.
Here’s my questions to the ZA community:
A) When you installed ZAF (Free not Pro) did you see this screen as an option?
B) Is this anonymous sending feature in ZAF 5.5.062.000?
C) If yes, how does one disable it and prevent it from sending any anonymous data to Zone Labs?
I appologize if I’m being overly anal and hopefully I’m about to answer my own questions here. It does state in the Help section under “Sharing your settings with Zone Labs” …“Configuration data is not collected from ZoneAlarm or ZoneAlarm with Antivirus users.” Can we safely interpet this to mean that ZAF (Free) does not transmit anonymous configuration data or for that matter any type of anonymous data and that’s why we do not see the SET DATA GATHERING PERMISSIONS screen & check box option when installing? 
Best regards,
Marsman  |
