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. Tom "Noel Paton" wrote in message ...

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 "Heather" wrote in message ... Hi 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 "TomV" wrote in message ...
