Zone Alarm
 

I have just installed Zone Alarm (again) and my internet connections seems crawl at times. Anybody know what the problem is?

I used to Use zone alarm until someone told me it didn't do anything, I don't know that for a fact though

Frowning,

Zonealarm is a great firewall for the price.....FREE!

What OS system are you using and what programs are showing up in the programs column that you are allowing access??

yeah, it's great for the price.

i sa you get blackice

i've zonealarm pro and never had any problems. are u sure it's not a isp problem?

I am using Zone Alarm Pro running on Windows ME. It just does it sometimes. Could it be I am not granting permission to something the ISP needs? Running DSL through the local phone company.
I am sure it is Zone Alarm because when I turn it off speed returns to normal.

An example. With Zone Alarm it took me well over a minute and a half to submitt the previous remark. Turned off Zone alarm and it took less than 5 seconds.

Frowning,

It sounds like your not letting something access the internet through Zone alarm. As I asked earlier what is in the programs catagory in ZA??

If you have Generic Host process server...ALLOW

PDP RPC Server....Allow

Services and controller app...Allow

These are Windows programs that I have to allow for my connection to work correctly through ZA.

You may also try dslreports.com and run a tweak test to make sure all is well with your connection, you will find it in the tools catagory on the web page.

I installed an upgrade and it seems to be working much better now. Thanks to you all.
