Hey All,
I've been using the Zone-Alarm Pro free trial demo for the past few days, and was happy with it's efforts. I was all set to upgrade it's licence and buy myself a full copy. However from today, now, it dosen't seem to be working. It just blocks everything now, eg when it is on nothing (in or out traffic) works at all, where as just afew days ago it was working fine, eg it blocked the things I wanted it to, and allowed the things I wanted to work, to work.
Now tho, it's god mad. Tried restoring a backup image of it that was taken when it was first installed, didn't work.
So as you can image don't think i'll be buying it now, lol.
Anyway, I need either any ideas on what might be wrong with the ZA, or suggestions on other firewalls that I could use.
Oh, and on a side note, being still quite new to fw's I need a fw that has tooltips or a helper programe build in to it that is designed for newbie fw users, as I can recall with ZA, alot of the time I didn't have a clue what half the settings where or what they did, eg dhp, dns, protocall, ports etc etc..
Cheers, Dave.
