| 65141 | 2002-07-28 01:50:00 | I have had no problems with zonealarm pro and have tested it using test intrusion sites that find all my ports invisible i also use norton 2002 and PestPatrol along with ad-aware free surfer and webwasher are useful utils as well to help filter out annoying popups and ads etc | kiwibeat (304) | ||
| 65142 | 2002-07-28 03:14:00 | the catch here is the older os's have been round long enough so the holes have been found and tools made. also older version of internet programs. so with a fresh install its just a matter of someone with intent finding your pc. without a firewall how would you know you have been hacked? often the hack is to install Trojan or open up a backdoor for further use. without keeping track of whats connecting out you will never know its there (antivirus will not always pick Trojans up) security is about odds. whats the odds of being hacked with no protection vers odds with protection. granted no security setup is foolproof but it some bring the odds down to a reasonable level. |

| 65143 | 2002-07-28 16:37:00 | Before I installed ZoneAlarm free version, I tested my computers security at 'GRC.com'; It was full of holes! Now neither GRC.com nor Semantic.com can even find my computer in a test!! I have had no problems with ZA. |

| 65144 | 2002-07-30 09:55:00 | Interesting........I just finished reading the article in the August PCworld on firewalls and other security and noticed that Agnitums Outpost is not included or mentioned whatsoever. If you read this robo or bruce is there a reason why not?? | dipstick01 (445) | ||
