I have got the ZAPro ver 4.5.594.000, the paid for version and it is

One thing the new version has is anti virus monitoring. Its
suppose
to
monitor the anti virus program you have installed and let you know
if
there
are any 'lapses' in protection. How? Don't know. Most of the
problems
I
read about so far is related to incompatibility with existing
av's.
BTW
It
doesn't detect Grisoft's AV on my system. On the plus side, it
does
allow
you to disable it. RC

Noel,

It looks like he gave you the latest release number of ZA. ;)

After less than a day of the latest ZA, I've gone back to version 4.5.xxx.
Initially there didn't appear to be any problems, but I then started having
a number of system instabilities such as application freezes and BSODs.
Since going back to the previous version, all of the instabilities have
disappeared.

Hi Tom......

Seems to be a lot of problems being reported by those with McAfee in
particular......on the antivirus ng......I am beginning to be sorry I
mentioned this new version.....grin.

And remember what I said (many times).......Zone Alarm 'beta tests' its new
stuff on the unsuspecting public. It always has bugs in it.....so I always
stay one or two versions back......

Hi, Heather,

I've never had a problem with ZA updates in the past, so I didn't hesitate
installing the latest release. In this case, I would agree that ZA is beta
testing it's product. BTW, a system restore wouldn't get me back to the
previous setup. I had to undo the restore, uninstall ZA 5, and remove all
of the ZA 5 leftovers before installing the 4.5.xxx version. The one good
outcome is that I now have a clean ZA installation. If anyone is
considering upgrading to ZA 5, I'd recommend a clean installation rather
than an upgrade installation. It's also advisable to turn off any real-time
AV monitoring.

Cheers,
Tom

TomV,
I got my notice of the update availability yesterday.....declined, of
course. Thanks for submitting your info. ZA (ZAPro for me) is a good
product, but, they seem overly anxious to get new versions to the
public.......kinda like they want us to do the Beta testing for them. I
guess that isn't too bad for the freebie, but, one would expect more from
the $$$ version.
Heirloom, old and think I'll wait a while longer
