387418 2005-09-11 03:06:00 I am currently using the free version of Zone Alarm v5.5.
I understand that the latest version 6.0 is available but apparently has resulted in problems for many users.
Is it worth the upgrade and if so, what precautions should one take.
my Computer is Windows XP SP2
Thanks for all advice.

387421 2005-09-11 09:51:00 I have been using version 6 ever since it came out with no problems.
They did have trouble when version 5 was first released, but this was fixed ages ago.

387422 2005-09-11 10:25:00 Version 6 changed my Outlook Express settings. After much time spent trying to work out what was wrong, I found I'd been mysteriously changed to a LAN.
It was easily fixed, but the time wasted on "where in the innards to look" was annoying.
Googling brought up a few known problems - so with hindsight, I would try that first in future.

P.S. Sorry - just checked & it turns out that was v 5.5 I installed, not 6. I thought I was completely up to date, but apparently not so.
