Don't install it if you are on Win2000/XP!
It causes the system to seize up after a few mins and then needs to be rebooted. Stick with the old version 4.5 until they've sorted it out.

so thats why my local "development" webserver stopped working! ![Wierded Out :urff:](./images/smilies/icon_urff.gif)
pile of sh*te!
everything seemed ok, the pc was stable and everything, but then when i tried to look at any webpages running of my localhost server, all the images, embedded flash files and external javascript files failed to load
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
uninstalled ZA v5 and they were fine again. re-installed ZA v5 and it broke it again.
pish.
so, i currently have no firewall installed as i cannot find a copy of ZA v4.5 to install... stoopid me did a fresh install, not un upgrade so i have nothing to roll back to![Wierded Out :urff:](./images/smilies/icon_urff.gif)
anyone got a link to download v4.5?![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)

The version currently on their download page seems to work OK for me on XP... Surely they would've fixed such a major problem as this ASAP? Or is the problem just with the update and not the full download version which I've got?

The current Zone Alarm release is version 5.0.590.015. The update file you download is the full version. You just have a choice to upgrade over a previous version or uninstall the previous version and install the new one clean. If you do start getting problems, then unstall Ver 5 and reinstall ver 4.5.594.000.
As for them not updating it to sort out the problems, I remember there was a problem with a previous version that caused problem with Win9x/ME a couple of years back. It took them 3 months to sort that one out.
It's possible you're not running any software that is causing Zone Alarm to seize up your PC. Seems that various McAfee applications are doing it. In my case Soulseek caused it to seize up and it seems other file sharing programs are causing crashes as well.
The current FAQ has the information on it:

I PASSED
Only a paand.
3 months to fix it - that's shocking! I'm running it on a brand spanking new machine that I haven't even got round to installing SoulSeek on yet, maybe I'll downgrade my ZA before I do that then...

if you want to try some alternatives:
Outpost Firewall - http://www.agnitum.com/download/
I've used this before and it is very good, but did crash a lot. I was using their first release version though so hopefully they put some updates into it by now. It has all the features that most of the Firewalls you'd have to pay for have.
Sygate Personal Firewall - http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm
This is pretty good, but more comlicated to use than Zone Alarm. Apart from that, it does the job!

Ok, given up with the new version. Seems to have issues with Soulseek and stuff.
I'm now using Sygate Personal Firewall instead. This works just as well and there is no problem with Soulseek!

HO HUM......if only Ness would read stuff like this.....
Been offline now fer a couple of days, seems that it might be the ZA causing it but old 'FidleFingers Gaz' might not have helped by trying to solve the problem himself!
Writing and reading from school is a 'mare due to the nannyNet
be back soon folks.
