Larry: is it safe to just delete these files?

I use Zone Alarm Pro and i highly recommend it, even the free version is great, I’ve got nothing bad to say against zone alarm, it protects efficiently and reliably, although it sometimes screws up the program list, that is the programs i have given internet rites, which is annoying, but other than that, go with zone alarm.

ZA Pro has IP blocking.
I also don't understand what you mean about ZA being obtrusive. Once you've set it up, ZA is very unobtrusive - unless a piece of software is trying to access the internet without your knowledge. That kind of obtrusive I want.

Hmmm... so far, you haven't convinced me, Willow. ZA has, among its zones, a Blocked Zone. I can take that IP and stick it in there, and if I decide to like it later, I can move it back.
I have noticed that the privacy control thing is really annoying, but I turn it on and tell it to hide itself. It stops bothering me then, and keeps on working. Soooo.... what else am I missing? Pray tell... I'd rather be smart than right [img]smile.gif[/img]

Only delete those files Larry say, dont overdo the thing about viruses they are pretty rare anyway, i use a virus scan IF i think i have it and in most 99% i dont have it so in 15 years i got only 4 viruses om my computer.
Only thing to remember is to NOT i say NOT open any attachment mails if you dont know the person who sendt it. So those Zonealarm and thingys is annoying you dont get any viruses browsing the net and posting like here and i also turn of the broadband modem when i'm not on the net that is secure as hell! And not all you find with virus scanner is viruses it is spyware they remove those too the virus scanners so don't worry if Norton (virusprogram) or a spyware progran like AdAware find 100 thingies it is only spyware thingys that are not any dangerous only annoying and slow down your computer So use the Spybot and AdAware once in the week then you are pretty safe and viruscanners ONLY if you think you have one not all the time that is time vasted! Zonealarm?? sheesh get rid of it asap only crap it dont do nothing good exept make you feel more safe and it dont i have seen the code it uses and it is SO easy no way to use it is only humbug !! So the thing is turn of the modem when you are not online then turn it on when you are thinking browsing the net simple as that. I also rekomand you to use the "spam" filter in Hotmail if you use Hotmail it is wery good! [img]smile.gif[/img] [ 08-08-2004, 05:59 AM: Message edited by: Megabot ] |
