Re: OT: Zone Alarm



≪if any of you run a recent
version of ZA, is it well-behaved and not in your way
? And -- along the lines of the current "lean, mean"
thread -- will it be suitable for an older laptop with
limited memory. (The system requirements mention
128M, though I've actually got around three times
that, and could bump it up to a maximum of 512M.)≫
I'm running ZA 5.5.094.000, the service agreement expired in 2005, so not the newest version. Process Explorer shows that it uses less CPU than Process Explorer. It can be set to be as unintrusive as you wish (e.g., it will check emails for trojans, or not, block all previously unregistered programs & port numbers, or not, etc.). It can be completely manually configured (for those who know what they are doing), or set on auto-pilot. I don't know how well auto-pilot works.
