| 473305 | 2006-07-25 18:11:00 | I forgot to mention that when installing ZA updates there is an option to keep the settings from the previous version. It saves hassels. | Vince (406) | ||
| 473306 | 2006-07-25 18:16:00 | Thanks, Vince, but as I recall, the ZoneAlarm Update lines (buried among lots of other stuff on the page) says the same as the one I clicked on 4 weeks ago. So that's why I'd like to hear from someone who has actually downloaded it. Edit: Just seen your 2nd post. Yes, that'd be a good option. Pity it wasn't made more conspicuous. |

| 473307 | 2006-07-25 18:26:00 | I usually just download it without reading that stuff, so I didn't realize it is the same. I am in the process of downloading it now. If I see anything new I will let you know, but I doubt that there will be anything noticable from the users point of view. |

| 473309 | 2006-07-26 01:46:00 | That's because I went through this at the end of June, when accepting an "update/upgrade"/whatever they called it. The result was a lengthy download of the whole program again - slate wiped clean of all previous settings & intrusions blocked etc. That's what I don't like about the darn program. It gets updated quite frequently and it's a pain having to download the whole thing and redo it. I still have to go and customise it again even when the option to keep the settings is enabled. |

I still have to go and customise it again even when the option to keep the settings is enabled. Do you mean that having to take the whole program again (instead of merely some new files) is normal for a ZoneAlarm update, Foxy? Mine have been so far apart - until now- that I simply don't remember. So if they're quite frequent, I've obviously missed lots. But I'm certainly not keen on that performance again after only 4 weeks. Pctek's comment is looking good... |

Pctek's comment is looking good...I wouldn't bother if I were you. I don't actually use ZA myself but having been putting it on other people's PCs. A couple of times I had been caught out installing one version and ZA announced that there was an update so downloaded it, thinking it the right thing to do. That's when I discovered this cunning little trick of ZA's. :rolleyes: Won't happen again though, I'll be ignoring its demands in future. ;) |

It saves hassels. unfortunatly it also can cause problems which is why a "clean install" instead of upgrade is recommended. Do you mean that having to take the whole program again (instead of merely some new files) is normal for a ZoneAlarm update normal for a lot of others as well. certainly a pain for us dailuppers. |
