The other day, Zone Alarm released a new rev that works with the MS update that killed it (KB 951748).
I re-installed ZoneAlarm on a Desktop running XP Pro SP3. Runs fine.
I failed to re-install it on a desktop running XP Home SP3. The install fails after complaining that the file is not a Zone Alarm install file. [WTF?] So I decided to experiment with other third-party firewalls. I installed Comodo on the XPH box.
Fired right up, has no issues, easy to use; and free. I think I may recommend it.
I still have two XPH boxes running SP2 and Windows FireWall. So far so good.
And the Vista laptop runs Windows FW as well. DId I mention I broke down and bought a laptop? HP Pav9700, 4GB RAM, 1GB Video RAM, 500GB HDD, 17.1" screen. Lovely.
