| 476525 | 2006-08-07 01:05:00 | I would say there are a small number of people here that "like" ZA, and they are usually easy to spot as they have never tried anything else (if they had they wouldn't be using ZA lol). ZA is fine for mum and dad users, but if you need a more configurable firewall that port forwards properly for many file sharing programs etc, I suggest avoiding it at all costs.I've used superior firewalls, but after a recent reinstall was too lazy so I just ran ZA - it doesn't inhibit any apps I run at all and works just fine. I suspect the Pro version would be even better. But one aspect on my main machine that I think helps is that I use an internal adsl modem, which is way simpler than external devices. |

| 476526 | 2006-08-07 01:56:00 | Yeah I'd have to agree, I've used ZA in various forms for years and had no problems. I use it on my PC and laptop in conjunction with a router firewall without any issues also. |

Why change what aint broke? Thanks everyone, up and running with broadband, and did the grc test, and am hidden. LOL |
