ok i just installed ZA on my comp and only after a day i got like 200k intrusions blocked.
is this normal?

, i used to have this , anyway...it's either false alarm or indeed a real one, but mine, turned out, that's only false alarm, because, when i switched to other free firewall software, seems really no network activity. currently on PCTools Firewall Free

200k? ZOMG, that's too much

yeah now its at 380k now i just hope its just all false alarm lol

380k is a bit too much. I am only like on 3000 Blocks. You ought to check what is the IP that is attempting to connect to your computer. Cheers!

im around 1mil blocks... maybe its becuz im running BT 24/7
are u running Bt?

o yeah i am, my BT is always on xD

That explains it. BT requires a lot of "input". I don't. Cheers!

my ZA also same thing ....

it got 70k blocked in 1 months ... cz last month onli i fully reformat my pc ...

i dunno wad it block but i see the word keep appearing =.=

If you BT, that's normal.

If not... you know you're in trouble.

Like my friend's parents Magnum 3D shop, DDoS-ed. Luckily got firewall.

lol...if bt, thats normal...unless you already open a port in your ZA too [I assumed that you already open a port in your adsl modem, but haven't open the port in your ZA "/]

Haha yeah..it happened to me to..somehow it happens when you restart the comp and your bt connection being still active but your but BT software wasn't open. As a result everything was blocked, the intrusion counts climbs.

I used to think ZA is the best but it brings out too many unnecessary alert pop-ups. And most of the time, there are no information available other than the computer is safe...come on, if everything is manual, it freaks you up more (it really does that to me). At least Norton didn't bring silly alerts like foosbar, etc.

pop-ups? IMO, that's when your ZA "learning"...after some period, it won't pop-ups already

im just afraid that ZA might block somethin that is needed for my system to run perfectly.

might be it block sumthin then my connection speed slow

huh ? people bombard the magnum 3D shop ?

default , ZA block everything
but when some programme wanna access the net
it will ask permission from you, from there you can decide it to close or open

Mine blocked 2653 intruder only. 380k? Sounds like the whole world are trying to access ur pc. U must be working with Interpol. heehe

Yeah lah, and DDoS for websites as well...

thats exactly the problem with ZA, alot of popups suddenly appear, and being the computer ignorant u are, u freak out and click block block block

poof.. ur system crash and had to reformat

happen to me

totally dont get what you mean

ZA causes Windows too crash because of blocking? That is the first time I heard of that. All my years using ZA, if you block, you can't access the Internet. Never Crashing or BSOD or whatever. Cheers!

sometimes i see it blocked so many thing . especially when i just install fresh zone alarm ...

any guide on how to config it accordingly ?

why format? check the program permission lists "/, you can enable/disable from there

that's because your ZA currently in learning your internet activity, give her 2~3 weeks time, and the pops up will never comes out again, unless there's a serious threat...

or, you can disable the pops up...

, i think he thought that his system fuc|<ed up, therefore, final solution...format

even crashed in safe mode, how could i get to the ZA?



Its F**ked out already.. ish ish

and theres one time i tried bitdefender + ZA free = lagged out my comp so badly.. waste a few hours on uninstalling bitdefender , cz its so slow

Both ZA and BD is high resource suckers... AVS and Nod32 are resource-friendly.

Nod32 is cheap X_x, it couldnt delete the virus infected

BD is but it doesnt scan throughly

ZA is but only if u got alot of memory and not to mention $$ for the security suite pack

The day NOD32 is lousy, that's the day Andreas Clementi has to close down av-comparatives.com. PERIOD. NOD32 can remove IF you know how to remove. Simple. If you don't understand how it detects, how are you going to ever know how to remove? Take a simple scenario:-

NOD32 detects virus in Memory. IT CAN'T delete straight through. Even Norton or BD will have a problem with that. WHY? Because it is IN MEMORY. Simple. How do you settle then? SIMPLE Still. Use Task Manager. Kill the Process. Hunt the virus MANUALLY/PERSONALLY/whatever-ly. Don't be over dependent.

Only 1 flaw I noticed in NOD32. It does not detect Brontok. But why worry? There is AVS, AVG(Duh ), AntiVir. I personally recommend AVS and AntiVir.

Cheers!

Yeah being the computer idiot i am, couldnt do anything.. My AVs and anti spywares before are of spoonfeeding software and therefore they do everything for me

Emm, the blocked i mean is not pop up . is the block that i can see inside the log....

from many different ports

Are you doing Torrents/P2P? If yes, then that explains it. If no, then it might be a port scan or so. Worst case, Hackers. Cheers!

i've just re-install my zone alarm to a new fresh copy ....

i notice that it often auto-block this kind of thing , see image ...

It's a good thing it did.

http://www.grc.com/port_445.htm

If i were u, i would click dont show this dialog again, its pointless and annoying, just a message to tell u that it block something? ok for 1 time, but for a gaziliion times?

thats y i hate za.. too many alert messages, 80% false alarm

my 2 cents

but i just scared it blocked userful thing lol ....

like from my torrent port forward 45000, it keep blocked also

Can ZA running well on Vista? I install version 70_337_000, but it failed due to the incompatible problem......

ZA currently does not support vista yet. This is stated in their website. at least it was a few weeks back...
