An addon to my previous post about ZoneAlarm. From yesterdays LangaLetter.
"New Free ZoneAlarm
On Tuesday, Zone Labs released ZoneAlarm 3.1. If you're a ZoneAlarm user, you should soon get an update notice (the notifications are staggered over time to prevent everyone from trying to download the new code at once.) You also can grab the code manually by going to zonelabs.com .
In addition, ZoneAlarm Pro was recently updated to version 3.0.133. Similarly, you can update automatically via the built-in update/reminder agent, or by visiting the above site and manually grabbing a copy.
The Pro upgrade is only a little different from the previous version, but the free version is a major update, and already is generating some strong--- and so far, mostly negative--- reader comments: stability problems, resource issues, and more.
But the numbers of reports I've gotten so far is too small to serve as a basis for a reliable conclusion. Plus, it's a fact of human nature that far more people take the time to write when they're angry about a product than when they're happy with one. (I guess we all tend to complain more than praise. <g>)
But by the time you read this newsletter, enough people should have used the new version of ZoneAlarm that we can begin to draw meaningful conclusions."
Might want to use an older version until the final verdict is in.
