andsome Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 is the Comodo firewall better than ZA?i might considder uninstalling ZA then...It's personal choice. I have changed to Comodo, but others prefer ZA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 why did you choose Comodo over ZA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted July 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 ZA (free) was my firewall of choice for many years (since version 3.7). Then when Checkpoint took over ZA, they decided to load ZA (free) with all kinds of crap - basically everything that is in the Security Suite, but in disabled mode. Naturally this caused many problems, and after ZA 7 disabled two of my computers, I decided to get rid of it. I still have it on two other computers, but instead of upgrading to the latest version, I will also replace them with Comodo.Comodo is reliable, unobtrusive, and does not place any strain on the system. Comodo just acts as the old ZA has done.Some ZA users say they will just stay with the old version, 5.5, or 6.1, or 6.5, but these old version do have some security issues that were later fixed, but unfortunately the "fixed" version is no longer reliable.

Lamb Chop Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 too late Boris, already dumped Za and using Comondo.Its certainly different and so far I like it.It is in learning curve right now.Nothing ghastly has happened to other programs either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamb Chop Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I spoke too soon.I have had to uninstall Comodo due to its acting up on my computer and not being friendly with many programs. :( Just could not get onto the net after a couple of days, all screwed up on my connections too.so uninstalled it.I have read that not all computers act the same way, mine has its own funny ways like does not like IE7 that was first to stuff up my connections. Using iE6 but only when links by default.Reinstalled new version of ZA which I had craftily downloaded just in case prior to above install of Comondo. Learning you see :lol: Now it is working fine ZA and I did click onto No so didn't get the other programs, but still in the download, I must say didn't remember the no bit prior or would have. Anyway, Firefox updated to 2.0.0.5 and works sort of, same with IE6, but, both hesitate, like I get cant find server, check your connections or typing etc. Got the wizard to check my connections which I had had to redo, by uninstall and reinstall with my ISP techs as mucked up. Said connections were fine.So why do I get this hesitation and have to use the refresh button on my FF browser - any suggestions.Also, more serious - I have lost that window that pops up first on start up and which I had on auto connect to net. Gone and I don't know how to find it. so now have to go to start, connections, and get the other window and connect that way. Manually, which is a pan as I like to boot up and then let it sit there and do its thing, updates coming in to Avast, and others and then it collects my emails and is ready to go. Or else since I have only 223 ram according to Ccleaner, I have a job to work whilst all this updating etc going on on start up. Hope you know what I mean :D Now I also used a couple of program tools I have got and used before to sort out problems, Erunt and NGREGOPT to back up and then maximise the registry. Then I used WinsockXP and it repaired something, and after that with ZA working, am in above position, have to refresh pages to get past first cant find server most times, not all the time, and have lost my connection window that pops up on start up.Any suggestions........Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted March 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 This is the correct download link.When installing, make sure to uncheck the 'Include ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker' thing!After completion, don't forget to uninstall that MailFrontier;see instructions earlier in this thread.

Lamb Chop Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Thanks Pat. :D this one is even bigger 44MB. I do wish they would let you just have the firewall only as I am sure they used to without all the other bits every time. Plus just noticed also it now tries to install immediately and if you do haven't checked it for anti virus or spyware etc. Bit naughty I think.Or pushy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamb Chop Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Thanks Pat.I use it as tried Comodo now on two different computers and both hated it - along with even their BOCLean which they make - so I went back to Zone alarm.

Lamb Chop Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yep I found out the hard way right in the middle of connecting a new printer. Downloaded update and whammy no connection. Said pages was reset in the middle of connection etc.Thought it was the new hardware so did a restore as it was working when I had it working and registered it online.turned on today doing monthly payouts and there was the yellow shield again so thought maybe as I didnt restart it but left it and then turned off had lost the update so downloaded it again and whammy no connection - blast it - then got your email and thought wow - so downloaded the new version only to find it has the same problem and is the old version I already was using 473.So now have lowered the security to medium and connected but I do get fed up with this business of ZA and you go to their website and it aint the right one.Not the first time is it? Not your fault Pat I know but they do seem a bit like M$ at times Meanwhile do I really need K 951748 or will they put the 483 version up sometime soon? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
